Roki Sasaki Struggles with Command in Early Spring Training Starts

Roki Sasaki has faced challenges in his first two Cactus League starts, recording 10 outs while allowing seven runs. The right-hander is adjusting to new pitches, including a cutter and sinker, but has struggled with command, throwing 38 strikes against 43 balls. Reports indicate his release point is drifting, impacting his velocity and movement. Despite the rough results, the Dodgers maintain full confidence in his mechanics and plan to keep him in the opening day rotation.
