Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki are the new additions to the Dodgers' starting rotation, debuting in Tokyo at an exhibition game against the Hanshin Tigers. Snell, who signed a substantial five-year contract, is eager to learn about unfamiliar hitters from Nippon Professional Baseball. He sees this experience as an opportunity rather than a challenge, emphasizing the excitement of different gameplay styles. Despite some struggles in Spring Training, Snell expresses positivity about his progression and looks forward to his role in the rotation as he continues to improve.
I'm really excited to learn new hitters. I've never seen them and I know nothing about them. I'm excited about that. I'm excited to play in a dome. Just going out there and seeing turf, and how the field is laid out, it's different.
In the big leagues you learn patterns and you see what they're doing to find success. Everyone tends to follow that. They're unique, but they're all chasing the same swing.
I feel good. I'm excited. I feel like every start, every game I've been throwing, I felt better and better. So I'm really excited for this next game and then to see where I'll pitch after that.
