Roki Sasasi is all set to make his Major League Baseball debut against the Chicago Cubs. The Los Angeles Dodgers will go up against their opponent in the Tokyo Series in Japan. The newly acquired international pitcher is accustomed to the Japanese ball, but he still has a bit of pressure piling up.
The Los Angeles Dodgers lost their last game to the Hanshin Giants. Now, their focus is on the regular season, and they want to start with a bang. Dave Roberts is keen to make another World Series run. The franchise had the most successful off-season after acquiring top players in the league.
Roki Sasaki will make his MLB debut in Game 2 against the Chicago Cubs, and he’s prepared for the worst. Sasaki is ready to make adjustments to his pitching. After taking the mound in spring training, he’s ready to fine-tune his game plan. In a recent interview via Dodgers Nation, he mentioned that he’s going to need another pitch.
“Whether it’s a slider or something else, I know I’m going to need another pitch. Obviously, it’s a third pitch on top of my fastball and my splitter. Regardless of the results, I’ll just focus on bringing out what I have, and I believe that if I can play in my own style, the results will follow. And I think I’ll have to just keep going,” Sasaki said.
