Roki Sasaki announced his intention to come to MLB at the start of the 2024-25 offseason.
The 23-year-old is expected to be a high-ceiling talent already at 23 .
Sasaki could be under team control for his entire peak of a bona fide ace, at a price every team can afford.
He reminds me of Yu Darvish , with his build and his rangy athleticism.
The total package (power fastball, slider, and splitter-ish offspeed pitch) is similar to Paul Skenes' , though Sasaki 's command and fourth and fifth pitch are areas he'll need to address.
The Dodgers will be the team to beat for years on the field, and off the field.
It's such a rare thing for a player of this caliber to be able to choose any team he wants.
The Mets offer a good pitching environment, a strong possibility of sustained contention.
The Padres will be the most intriguing alternative to the Dodgers , because of the weather, Darvish 's presence and the chance to play against the best.
