Roki Sasaki made his much-anticipated debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Chicago Cubs, demonstrating a mix of brilliance and challenges. He began with a perfect first inning, showcasing his fastball hitting 101 mph and earning his first strikeout. However, inconsistencies in his command resulted in some walks and a scoring inning for the Cubs. Despite limited innings, Sasaki expressed satisfaction with his mechanics and fastball velocity. He aims to refine his delivery to improve performance in future appearances.
Even though my command went awry at times during the game, I felt good about my mechanics and my delivery.
The most encouraging part of his outing was the fastball velocity. Sasaki made it a focus to improve on that after seeing a significant drop.
