Roki Sasaki, a rookie pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, demonstrated substantial improvement in his second bullpen session compared to his debut. Manager Dave Roberts noted that Sasaki's performance was cleaner and more consistent, indicating a decrease in nerves. Catcher Hunter Feduccia praised his fastball, splitter, and curveball, highlighting the challenges Sasaki faces transitioning from Nippon Professional Baseball. Veteran catcher Austin Barnes also appreciated Sasaki's fastball's carry, while recognizing the uniqueness of his splitter. Both catchers agreed that Sasaki is honing his skills and adapting to baseball in the United States.
Oh my gosh, the fastball is a big fastball; it has a lot of carry and ride to it. The ball jumps at you.
He was throwing his fastball, splitter and curveball. I thought all three of them looked good; fastball command was there.
