“Unraveling the Mystery: Is Dodgers Rookie Roki Sasaki the Next Pitching Phenomenon?”
-
March 19 vs. Cubs: 3 innings, 56 pitches, 25 strikes (45%)
-
March 29 vs. Tigers: 1â…” innings, 61 pitches, 32 strikes (52%)
-
April 5 vs. Phillies: 4 innings, 68 pitches, 41 strikes (60%)
-
April 12 vs. Cubs: 5 innings, 81 pitches, 50 strikes (62%)
At the same time, there’s some solace to be found in the fact that most of Sasaki’s issues thus far have been self-inflicted. Yes, his proclivity to issue free passes has resulted in a stressful amount of traffic on the bases, but it’s not like opposing batters have been knocking him around the ballpark; Michael Busch’s home run on Saturday was the first extra-base hit Sasaki had surrendered in four starts.
