Fastball → 102mph Split → 93mph Slider → 90mph Currently 21 years old. This is a monster.

This man is future Cy young.

Twelve years ago on March 11th, a natural disaster occurred in the Tohoku region of Japan, and Rouki Sasaki lost his father. This day's pitching has a special meaning for him.

he so handsome ❤

This kid is amazing to watch

I might have to start following Japanese baseball, this kid is a stud

His hometown is Rikuzentakata City, Iwate Prefecture, which was greatly damaged by the 3.11 earthquake. He himself lost his home in the tsunami and lost his father and grandparents. Twelve years later, on March 11th, he made his first appearance on the international stage.

Czech's 3rd batter hitted a strong line drive 2base from Sasaki's 164km. That was a big surprise for me.

That splitter is killer wow

Sasaki the starting pitcher lost his father and grandparents in the Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred 12 years ago today. We are very happy that he was able to win the game on this day

This guy is going to be one of the greats 🔥🫡

The best pitcher on the WBC that we 🇨🇿 have ever faced!

Sasaki will always be Roki of the year, anywhere.

I hope to see him in mlb

Roki Sasaki is a Japanese treasure who will dominate the MLB in a few years. And we, baseball fans, will be enthralled with him and unicorn battles.

I cant wait to see this in the MLB 😮❤

Stunning preformance cant wait to see more of him

Una gran sensación y lo esperaremos pronto en la MLB

japan 🇯🇵🎉🎉

what a spectacular arm

Not only Sasaki apologized on the field, he visited the player with two bags full of snacks to make sure he was okay and apologized before the team left. ❤ Who does that???😂💕

God Bless Japan

Roki Sasaki's pitching is really beautiful. I want to see him play in the major leagues

absolute favorite player ever

NICE GAME

Hope his arm holds up. It's gonna be years until he gets posted so I hope he'll have a great career in Japan before making the move to MLB.

This guy is a monster pitcher ❤

Once in a generation…. 🤩

Great performance by Rōki Sasaki. 🏏👍👋

He’s a beast on mlb the show

He is 20 years old with a 100+ fastball and 90+ splitter. Had a perfect game already in the pros. You can see why Japan regard him as a once in a generation talent.

That splitter DROPS

Roki told about his dream in a Japanese documentary. He didn't give any details, but the program ended with the words, His dream may be across the sea. Whatever his dream is, I'm supporting him to make it come true.

"THE MONSTER of reiwa" can't wait till he goes to mlb japanese players deserve respect and so should npb murakami, yoshida, senga, Okamoto, yamamoto remember these names.

MLB公式さんがここまでピックアップするってことは、本当に注目されてるんやな。今日の試合でも多少力んでたけれどマジでいい球投げてたもんな

Sasaki is the best starting pitching prospect in the last 10 to 15 years. Will be a superstar pitcher right out the gate in MLB! Has electric stuff!!

I'm not crying, you are. 😢

Commenting for everyone that’s here 5 years later when he’s in MLB and killing it!

今日という日に先発で投げたってことがもう…泣 お疲れ様でした‼︎

Sasaki you a beast boi!!!!!!! Honestly what they are doing in Japanese baseball and training is crazy ! The mastery of the craft is crazy

this kid's got solid stuff

The Czech players were great too👏👏👏

Future DODGER

He will eventually win the MLB Cy Young. I’m calling it right now.

The max speed of his pitch is 103mph ! I hope he can challenge the big league as early as possible😊

Thank you for playing!

慣れてないMLB球でこれは凄い

That ball drops like crazy

朗希！！！ ナイスピッチングでした❤

ALL MLB FUNS look foward to coming Sasaki ！！

My angels need him

I'm Japanese and I've watched Japan Professional Baseball for years and years but I haven't seen as big potential as him,probably his potential exceeds Yu Darvish's in 2005-2011.He accomplished the perfect game even was 20 years old,and also scored 13 K.Even Masataka Yoshida,had achieved lead hitter for 2 years then signed a deal with Red sox this year,struck out for four batters box in a row.Because even Yoshida was played with Sasaki's tremendous balls, I was so horrible....

I wonder if sasaki will be posted any time soon.. He would be a monster in MLB!

Bro channeled the power of his ancestors into this game.

He's The Real Deal For Boston

Hello Dodgers Fam.

Japan has the best starting pitching this WBC. It's not even close

We need him Right Now On My Red-Birds Congrats 🎉 man Can’t wait to see you play on my cardinals

We were glad to see such an amazing game. But more than anything, we were moved by the attitude of Czech players with respect to Japanese players. We were happy to play match with Czech players and hope we’ll be able to see them again at this WONDERFUL WBC stage.

Even though I am much older than him, he is my insperation

FOREVERRRRE A ROKI CLASSSICCCC

帥炸

Hello from Japan🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵 In the comments section of Twitter and Yahoo! Japan, they congratulated Sasaki, but at the same time said, "When I was watching the live coverage in English-speaking countries, I heard them say 'Roki' so often that I wondered if there was a player with a name like the Norse mythological god in the Japanese team this time around. I wondered if there was a player on the Japanese team with a name like that, like a Norse god. I looked back at the Japanese team list again and again, wondering if there were any players on the Japanese team with names like those of the Norse gods. And then, as the end of the story, they all said, "After much serious consideration, I asked myself, 'Is it possible that Roki is Sasaki? Could Roki be referring to Sasaki? I realized, "Roki might be referring to Sasaki. And then, "How is such a coincidence possible? and burst out laughing. When did Sasaki become a god of Norse mythology? I wondered. If I ever get the chance to meet someone from Scandinavia, I'd like to tell them that there is a baseball player from my country with a name similar to the Norse god," he said happily. He said happily. For the past three years, there has been a lot of depressing and sad news coming in from abroad and in Japan, so international games are interesting and fun because we can make such wonderful discoveries even outside the battle for points. So, everyone is saying, "International matches are interesting and fun because of these wonderful discoveries outside of the score competition. They also say, "Thank you for the WBC. Everyone is happy to hear such peaceful news and cheerful topics. The name "Roki" is very positively received and welcomed. (Incidentally, Sasaki's name is pronounced "Rouki" in Japanese, with a very clear "u" following the "o". Maybe in English, the closest pronunciation would be how to say "out" or "auto.") I think it is a really great international match. Everyone's moods are brightening up. It's like going back in time before Corona.

The fact that he is doing his best and holding back his tears at the same time >~

Sasaki is future Ohtani (pitcher version)

Roki Sasaki you are a New York Yankee

Future Dodger, probably

My goodness

is that a split? a curve? Slider? WOW this guys is insane

ヤンキース行って大エースになってほしいな。東海岸のビックマーケットの主役になって欲しい。

New monster japonês

Future Giant

Future Dodger

A lot of MLB teams are going to fight hard for his service.

Future Dodger.

小３で陸前高田の少年野球チームに入った佐々木朗希は、翌2011/3/11、東日本大震災の津波で自宅が流され父と祖父母を失った。父功太さんは「朗希はプロになる」が口癖だった。 大船渡に移り住み中学でも野球を続け瓦礫や仮設住宅の脇で練習に励んだ。私立強豪高からの誘いを断って地元仲間の多い県立大船渡高に進み、３年生時には非公式ながら163kmphを記録。 パ４球団から１位指名を受けクジを引いたロッテに入団、そして折に触れ故郷への想いや震災について話すようになる。「3.11は特別な日であり辛さ悲しさはなかなか消えない。自分が野球に打ち込めるのは沢山の支えがあったから」 被災地の想いを受けて朗希が投げるこの3.11の登板を決めた栗山監督も凄い。

Sasaki is a new star…

I think we just found the real-life Eijun Sawamura...

When will he be able to sign with a u.s. team anybody know??

If we wishes to play MLB he would be a very easy Cy Young candidate.

MLB trying to sign him up but he can only be released next year.

HE IS HIM.

the only good thing is if your up you no when the splitter is coming he will press down hard to get the grip

Fastball pitcher Sasaki

The Yankees need to sign Sasaski. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

3.11を忘れません。佐々木選手のご家族にも祈りを。

This dude looks like an anime character

チェコの皆さん 今日は対戦ありがとうございました！ これからもよろしくお願いします！ 🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿

Announcer: "it's a truly emotional day for Sasaki" Sasaki: *disinterested*

Welcome red sox🎉

this guy has the jacob degrom kinda potential holly....

If Rouki Sasaki went to the major leagues Ichiro plays George Sisler Just like Shohei Ohtani broke Babe Ruth's major league record Will break Nolan Ryan's recor
