The Los Angeles Dodgers and their fans won’t have to wait much longer to see Roki Sasaki in action, as manager Dave Roberts announced that the highly anticipated Japanese pitching sensation will make his Cactus League debut on Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds.

Facing hitters for the first time in Dodgers camp this spring, Roki Sasaki was the center of attention at Camelback Ranch during the team’s latest round of live batting practice.

Roki Sasaki took the mound for the first time as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday as he threw live batting practice to some of his new teammates. The 23-year old's fastball and slider were reportedly on full display as he began a new chapter of his baseball life.

Eventful days have become the norm at Camelback Ranch, but excitement and intrigue was particularly high on Tuesday with Shohei Ohtani, Roki Sasaki and Blake Snell each on the mound in varying fashion.

Shohei Ohtani is back on the attack, and Roki Sasaki is getting close. Ohtani, the unanimous 2024 National League MVP after the first 50-homer/50-stolen base season in Major League history, took his first live batting practice of the spring Sunday.

Another exciting spring debut is on tap for the Dodgers, as Roki Sasaki is set to make his first appearance in the Cactus League next Tuesday night against the Reds, manager Dave Roberts said. First pitch is set for 6:05 p.

Roki Sasaki’s first taste of pitching against an opponent didn’t come in a Cactus League start, but instead in a ‘B’ game at Camelback Ranch that was more of a simulated situation in terms of atmosphere.
