2 months agoLos Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Roki Sasaki pitched in a simulated game on Tuesday, and his fastball clocked in at "mid-90s," which is where the Dodgers anticipated he'd be at this early stage of the season. He's expected to pitch and make his MLB debut in the second game of the Tokyo Series on March 19 against the Chicago Cubs. Signed in the offseason out of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) in Japan, Sasaki's fastball can touch triple digits, but he also offers a devastating splitter in the 88-90 mph range that coaxes eye-popping whiff rates. The 23-year-old has ace-like potential, and the transition to MLB should not be too challenging. Expect the righty to offer solid ERA and WHIP with strong strikeout potential, with ATC projections forecasting 154 strikeouts in 131 innings in 2025. With an NFBC ADP around 95, there could still be some value there if he hits his projections, and RotoBaller ranks the future star at 76 overall, so don't hesitate to draft him if you get the opportunity in those early middle rounds.--Jarod Rupp - RotoBaller
