When the Los Angeles Dodgers signed 23-year-old phenom Roki Sasaki this past offseason, many around the baseball world knew that he would one day bring his dominance from Japan to MLB.
Something that perhaps very few would have predicted is that he would be displaying said dominance out of the bullpen, during the postseason, nontheless.
Sasaki had a rought start to his Dodger career with a 4.72 ERA through eight starts, and after a shoulder impingement sidelined Sasaki for over four months, there was no longer a clear spot in the rotation for him upon his late-September return.
