Following Shohei Ohtani (30), Yoshinobu Yamamoto (26) and Rocky Sasaki (23) who announced his entry into the U.S. stage, reports say Sasaki will head to the Los Angeles Dodgers.토토사이트

Japan's Yahoo Sports reported the news on Wednesday, citing a report by the New York Post. The news came two days after Sasaki was confirmed to challenge for the Major League.

According to the report, a Japanese professional baseball player heard that a contract between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Sasaki has been signed. Two New York teams were not mentioned.

This is not just speculation from the New York Post. This is testimony from Dallas Keuchel (36) who played for the Chiba Lotte Marines of the Japanese pro baseball league this season.

Chiba Lotte said on the 9th that it has decided to proceed with the posting system process for Sasaki to advance to the Major League.

This means that Sasaki will play in the Major League in earnest, which has drawn keen attention so far. Chiba Lotte will send Sasaki to the Major League for the first time in five seasons.

Since joining the Chiba Lotte Marines in 2020, Sasaki has garnered great attention by throwing fastballs with speeds of up to 164 kilometers per hour. She will also throw folk balls with speeds of up to 150 kilometers per hour.

He also achieved a perfect combustion game in history against the Orix Buffaloes in 2022. At that time, Sasaki was only 20 years and 5 months old.

"My biggest strength is my age. Sasaki was born in 2001 and is only 24 years old in the 2025 season. Therefore, Sasaki plans to attract attention from all clubs.

On the other hand, he also has weaknesses. He has not played a single inning during the past four seasons. He pitched 129 1/3 innings in 2022, the most. He pitched 111 innings this season.

Under the agreement between Major League Baseball and Japanese pro baseball, Sasaki is entitled to a maximum of 5.75 million U.S. dollars. Chiba Lotte's posting fee is only 1.44 million dollars.

In addition, since he has not yet turned 25, he can only sign minor league contracts according to regulations. Of course, it is not a big problem for him to advance to the Major League.

Nevertheless, Sasaki seems to have been obsessed with advancing to the Major League this winter because of her age. Sasaki will only be 24 years old in the 2025 season.

If Keuchel's words are true, the Los Angeles Dodgers can make up a 1-2-3 starter with three players from Japanese professional baseball.
