Roki Sasaki
With all disdain for anointing players too young, this youngster in 85 innings this year in Japan has 124 Ks, only 14 walks, and an ERA of 1.48. He pitched a perfect game and then was perfect through 8 in the next game. I heard an interview about him on NPR and (grain of salt) veteran observers were saying he is very very special. It will be interesting to see what becomes of him. Apparently he is used relatively sparingly in a conscious effort to protect his arm.

My son just came home from over there. He was there for almost 3 years. His favorite team is the Chiba Lotte Marines. He brought me a few things with this young man on them.

Is anyone following this youngster? His 2024 season was not quite as impressive as his surreal prior two seasons with WHIP under 0.8 and off the charts strikeouts. In particular his pinpoint control seems to have deserted him a bit and his walks were way up. He's still only 22.

I sure am. If you look at the modern pickups thread I picked up a few just this month.
I am looking forward to his debut, although it seems to already be a wrap that he will be a Dodger. They have been putting in the work and they know the expansion it will bring to their already massive Japan fan base. I thought he would be on the way this winter, but now I am leaning toward him staying for one more season based on the rumor mill. This is a recent pickup and my favorite rc of his visually-

Justin, how do you feel about his dropoff this year?
