The Los Angeles Dodgers, reigning World Series champions, are gearing up for the new season with a fresh addition from Japan: Roki Sasaki. The young pitcher made his much-anticipated debut, giving Dodgers fans a glimpse of his immense talent.
Five Strikeouts in Three Innings
In his first appearance, Sasaki pitched three scoreless innings against the Cincinnati Reds, striking out five batters. While it was just a preseason game, the Japanese ace showcased his potential, allowing only two hits and one walk.
