Roki Sasaki is generating a lot of buzz as he transitions from NPB to MLB, and for good reason. His fastball is not just fast; it's a game-changer, averaging over 100 mph with incredible movement. But with all this hype, I can't help but wonder: is he the next big thing or just another overhyped prospect?
Let's talk about the elephant in the room: the injury concerns. Sasaki has a history of arm issues, and while he's made adjustments to his mechanics, can we really trust a pitcher who throws that hard to stay healthy? The Dodgers' 6-man rotation could also limit his innings, which might impact his fantasy value.
On the flip side, his splitter is rated as one of the best pitches we've ever seen, boasting a staggering whiff rate. If he can harness that alongside his fastball, he could dominate MLB lineups. But will he adapt to the MLB hitters who are notoriously aggressive?
What are your thoughts on Sasaki? Are you willing to take the risk on him in your drafts, or do you think the potential downsides outweigh the upside? How do you see his first season playing out? Let's hear your bold predictions!
