SURPRISE, Ariz. – Roki Sasaki remains unconcerned about his spring training performance despite a rocky outing against the Kansas City Royals, where he pitched 3 ⅓ innings, allowing three runs, four hits, and four walks. Although he showcased improved fastball command and a newly-added cutter, Sasaki struggled with consistency, particularly in the third inning, leading to three walks and a two-run homer. Manager Dave Roberts emphasized the need for Sasaki to make quicker in-game adjustments, but the Dodgers still plan to include him in their opening-day rotation. As the regular season approaches, Sasaki’s ability to harness his potential remains a work in progress.
