In his Major League Baseball debut, Roki Sasaki impressively showcased his talent during a 4-2 win for the Dodgers over the Reds. The 23-year-old pitcher delivered three scoreless innings, striking out five while allowing just two hits. Manager Dave Roberts praised Sasaki's composure on the big stage, indicating he managed his emotions well. Sasaki, who was recently signed from Japan, displayed his fastball and splitter effectively, suggesting he has the potential to become a significant player in the league despite having limited professional experience.
"We were all kind of waiting to see how he manages his emotions under the lights, first big league game, and I thought he was fantastic."
"It was a mixture of excitement and nervousness, but once I was on the mound, I felt like I was able to focus and able to pitch."
