With a 100.3 mph fastball on average and a 90.9 mph splitter, Sasaki will be a real challenge for MLB hitters. If he, Yamamoto, and Ohtani stay healthy, the Dodgers’ back-to-back championship seems assured.
Since the Chiba Lotte Marines posted Sasaki on December 9, at least 20 teams have tried to win his services. However, in the end, it was the Dodgers who offered him the best deal, although the details of the agreement have not been revealed.
The Dodgers are putting together an unstoppable rotation for the 2025 MLB season. With Shohei Ohtani on his way to recovering from the shoulder injury that prevented him from pitching last season and Yoshinobu Yamamoto in full swing, very few teams will be able to stand up to the Los Angeles bullpen.

The Monster of the Reiwa Era
Just four years into his career with the Marines, Sasaki is already considered one of the best pitchers in history. His 29-15 record, 2.10 ERA, 505 strikeouts, and 394.2 innings pitched earned him the nickname The Monster of the Reiwa Era.
