Dad’s Take on Roki Sasaki

Look at this kid posing like he's conducting a symphony orchestra instead of throwing a baseball! And of course he's already got the Dodgers uniform on – probably spent more time in the team store buying gear than actually proving he belongs in the big leagues. All this talk about "stadiums humming" and "mighty cracks" – back in my day pitchers just threw the ball hard without needing a whole light show on their trading card!

About Roki Sasaki

Stadiums hum when Sasaki takes the mound. As he begins his windup, fans hold their breath until his fastball pops from his hand and slams into the catcher's mitt with a mighty crack. His splitter works like a magic trick when it drops off the table, eliciting a wave of amazement from the stands. In 2024 Nippon Professional Baseball, Roki had a 10-5 record with a 2.35 ERA and 129 strikeouts in 18 games.
