Remember This Name: Roki Sasaki

20 year old pitcher from japan. He almost pitched back to back perfect games. Was removed in the 9th of last game after pitching 17 consecutive perfect innings.

Does not really matter. he is not a free agent until 2032. kid will be 30 years old, with all of his best years behind him

I'm quite certain he doesn't mind breaching his Japanese league contract. Whatever club gets him I'm sure would pay any and all buyout fees if necessary, for sure.

18 year old catcher as well, calling the game

it wouldn't be a breach, his team would post him and they would get a fee. but still very unlikely until for 5-6 more years because he couldn't get big money with the current international signings bonus pool cap.

Let’s calm down

Wait until he faces gregory Polanco. He will give up a homer for sure

0:54 and 1:00 a bunch of substance is flying off the ball when it is headed towards home plate. How much is this guy doctoring up the balls?
