Roki Sasaki made headlines during Los Angeles Dodgers Spring Training when he faced live hitters for the first time. The event drew significant attention, with a crowd of over 50, including executives and players like Shohei Ohtani present to witness his performance. Teammates praised Sasaki for his composure, indicating that his ability to pitch in a high-pressure setting speaks to his mental toughness. Sasaki was encouraged by the turnout and felt optimistic about improving his pitching as he mixed various pitches during the session.
The fact that he went up and showed what he's about, how he can pitch and how he's going to be able to handle this, that's also a mental sign.
That's what I've noticed a lot, is the support from the group here; supporting hitters and pitchers, and seeing what Roki can do.
