Sasaki made two appearances during the Cactus League: the first as part of a multi-inning relief outing, the second as a starter. In total, he allowed three hits and issued three walks while striking out seven batters across seven scoreless frames.

It was Roki Sasaki’s MLB debut, and here’s how his first inning went: four pitches in triple digits, then two at 99 before breaking off an 85 mph slider. Back to 100, 99 before unveiling the disgusting splitter (which broke arm-side for ball one to Kyle Tucker).
