The Dodgers are focused on selecting the best 13 pitchers for their World Series aspirations while considering Roki Sasaki's recovery. Originally acquired as a promising talent, Sasaki's season began poorly, with eight ineffective starts leading to a shoulder impingement and a 4.72 ERA. Recently, he has been making progress in rehabilitation, facing hitters and preparing for minor league assignments. The organization sees potential as he adjusts his pitching mechanics and demonstrates improvements in delivery and velocity.
The 23-year-old right-hander was billed as a future star in the making, coming with a 100-mph fastball, devastating splitter and seemingly limitless potential.
Sasaki made eight underwhelming starts with a 4.72 ERA, hindered by wild command and declining fastball velocity, before being sidelined by a shoulder impingement.
