This is one of those rare RUclips videos in which the headline is NOT an exaggeration ...
@@douglascarlson9006 ??? Click bait. Why is he comparing someone who pitches in a foreign league that is probably equal to maybe single A ball, maybe D1. He's comparing statistics that have no association.

Even more surprising is he's 20-years-old and his catcher Ko Matsukawa is all of 18-years-old. Crazy good.
An 18 year old catcher in a top league is almost unheard of
And played in koshien
No shit Sherlock
No shit Sherlock
clearly bonwatcher doesnt watch baseball.
What’s interesting is that the pitching coach who trained him on his first year also grew Ohtani and Darvish
He grew them? In a lab? Makes sense now!
@@Brose_Canseco bruh
I think he meant to use the word "developed"
@@ST-lb9tt lmao
fr i never know bc sasaki is in different team otani and darvish was in same team nippon ham
Sasaki is a straight up miracle story. I can't wait to see him get even better! Sasaki along with other players, are living in Japan's golden generation era. Hopefully he does come to MLB like the Japanese legends of the past did so
Sasaki is talented, i have been following him since he was in high school. Truely hope he can play in MLB as soon as possible
I believe he would look nice in a Chicago Cubs Uniform. Don't you think so? And if he is as cool as Ohtani that would be great too.
There are agents eyeing him everywhere 😂 . All it takes is charismatic enough coach/manager to convince him to come over , this is a young potential player ready made to groom him in the best league to expand his skills . I see him like a young Michael Jordan when the coach/manager beach him cause of injury with the hits he took in the NBA early years .
I was curious to know when Sasaki might come to MLB. I read this... “Under the current agreement, players who are younger than 25 years old (or who have fewer than six years of professional experience) are subject to the international bonus pool system that also applies to true international amateur free agents (e.g., the teenagers who sign each July 2). That policy greatly limits the signing bonus potential of these players.” With that said, Sasaki is a true competitor, so I could see him wanting to play against the best competition, more so than a big payday. Although, he has some seriously deep connections to family in Nippon, after everything they’ve gone through. An international stage in the MLB will be the best way for him to showcase his talents and bring more fans to his remarkable talent and story. Love your videos!
Nobody wants to come to America any more.
I highly doubt that it's the lack of money that is preventing him from going to the MLB, if anything it would be family.
Shohei Ohtani decided to go to the majors at age 23 where he was paid about $500,000 plus $2.3mil international pool money bonus. If he had waited until age 25, he would have been signed as a free agent instead and would have very likely gotten a $100-$200 mil contract right away. He didn't want to wait. He knew the money would come eventually but he wanted to face the best in the world. Maybe Sasaki will think about doing the same.
@@jjabrony1973 It's quite different with Ohtani though, Sasaki was rather iffy about his MLB aspirations during high school, while Ohtani actually told all the NPB teams that he had no intention on signing with them had they selected him in the draft. Nippon-Ham and their manager Kuriyama somehow convinced him that signing with them would actually be a shortcut to a major league roster while developing him as a two-way player, so in a draft where round 1 picks are done in a lottery fashion, Nippon-Ham drafted Ohtani without competition as no other team even bothered construing this plan.
What this means is that Ohtani was very adamant as a high school kid to go to MLB regardless of the consequences, and Nippon-Ham got him to sign with him with under the agreement that his time with the team would be to develop as a two-way player that would actually play both ways in the majors, something that probably would not have happened had he signed with a MLB org at age 18. This is in contrast to Sasaki, who had not made his MLB aspirations clear until becoming pro.
You have changed my life with your videos. My wife and I have become huge baseball fans because of your u-tube broadcasts. I talk studio rocks man.
Based on this short video of his highlights in my expert opinion he's an elite ace pitcher of any pitching staff anywhere in the world.
He'd look real good in SF Giants uniform. His mechanics are stellar.
i hope we see him come over. would love to watch him play. always did love how Japan took such a huge passion to baseball.
Nice to see him catching the eyes of baseball fans in the west. I watched him during HS, and knew I was watching something special. As a pitcher, I’d say he’s probably better than Ohtani and on the same level as Degrom. This man is gonna be fun to watch when he comes over. The one caveat is that the NPB has more grippier baseballs and are more consistent with manufacturing them while MLB seems to alter their balls depending on whether they want more or less hits/HRs and have less grip on their balls. Hopefully, this doesn’t hinder him too much when he comes to MLB.
My only concern is that he is relying too much on his splitter like many other Japanese pitcher do (Ohtani, Tanaka)
@@l.w1693 another thing he’s very young and needs to be careful of throwing out his arm to where he’ll need Tommy John’s surgery sooner than later. Overall his delivery seems very similar to a Hall of Fame pitcher in Hershiser.
I love this. These kinds of videos are so awesome, letting us know about players and happenings outside of our little MLB bubble. Thanks iTalk! I will now become totally infatuated with this kid and wait patiently for my team to just barely miss out on signing him in 2026 or whatever. 😆
Hahahah😂😂
Love to see NPB get mentioned by you!
Really love your videos!!
Thanks for this video. Hadn’t heard about him until now. Should be interesting to see if he’ll ever consider going to the MLB in the near future.
Roki Sasaki is going to be real scary. I was hearing about him when he was in highschool. The Monster of Reiwa, essentially meaning the monster of his generation. He even threw a perfecto last month
At some point MLB fans are going to have to stop being surprised that the NPB has excellent players. Japan loves baseball. Their level of play is very, very high. The reason more Japanese players aren't lining teams in the MLB is because it is an absolute nightmare to acquire them.
and everyone doesnt want to move to north america.
Once again another great video! Most underrated RUclipsr these videos are insanely good production seems like it’s a multi million subscriber channel. Keep up the great work
Haha much appreciated! I don’t think I’m where I want to be yet, but I’m going to keep going and improving!
Can’t wait for Koshien. It’s amazing. So many stars born in that tournament
Great pitches aesthetically and practically from him, will love to follow him more!
He’s got a very similar windup to Tanaka. Hopefully this guy comes to the MLB one day, would love to see him face guys like Soto and Betts
Don’t know which of those batters is more dissapointin this postseason. Prolly betts that shitter just watched the ball
Easy to strikeout those bums.
@@barrybambmessagedeletedbyy7467 exactly. And I saw this as a Pads fan. Soto was miserable. Betts was watching the zone while meatballs were lobbed straight past him lmao. Send him back to Chaim Bloom
I don't understand all the downplaying of internationals. It's well-known that Japan and Korea produce world-class baseball players.
hi iTalk! i’ve been a fan for a while and you really helped me get into baseball. i appreciate everything you’ve done for me, as you’re really entertaining and help me get my mind off things. have a great day!
I don’t know how to respond to this other than the fact that this comment warmed my heart. Thank you!!! I’m beyond glad to know I’m helping you get into baseball and am an outlet for you to get your mind off of things. It means more to me than you’ll ever know. Thank you.
you’re the best. don’t stop doing what you’re doing
I've love baseball for 70 years. my wish was to make it to the majors but could not so I have live my dreams through Jr griffy sandy kofax, Ted Williams, mickey mantle, but now living in the philippines the past 6 years I have to say : I am seeing some great players in the Japanese league, which is all we get here on TV. I now believe there should be a world series that includes Japan baseball and any country that wants to play! make the play offs best out of three and the series best out of five. there s just so much talent the world does not get to see. the money would be greater through advertising and TV contracts. I have never seen a player like the Japanese young man who can beat you with pitching of with his bat , he plays for the angels I think, reminds me of the last big leader who could do that babe ruth . oh the angels also have american baseballs best all around player Mike trout.
After watching Sasaki play in WBC, I can’t WAIT till 2027 season. Four years seem too long to wait to see him play. But at least he will only be 25yo. Dream is seeing him on the same team with Ohtani.
Yeah 101 is highly impressive, top FB percentile obviously, but the forkball/splitter is otherworldly. Same arm speed, arm slot, but moves like a wiffle ball. Just insane. Can’t wait till he makes it to the majors
there's a universe next door where the mlb lockout persisted and we'd be enjoying some english broadcast npb right now
I can see it
In college, Derek Tatsuni was a badass. Bad pitching coaches usually destroy natural pitchers before he ever gets to the MLB.
since you did a vid on roki how about one on Yoshinobu Yamamoto the 23 year old that had a 1.38 era last year and this year has a 1.22 era with 10 k per 9 and 0.3 hr per 9
Great mechanics and mixes his pitches very well. They key for success in the MLB if he ever gets there is to throw his off-speed stuff for strikes. There is definitely a difference when pitching against MLB hitters. Wish him well...
I would like to congratulate you on this video being almost a full year older than Roki’s debut in the 2023 WBC, which I would argue was his debut onto the world stage. You really have your finger on the pulse.
team up with Ohtani and Trout please
The pitch at 0:53 by number 11. Looks like a fast kunckleball. I don’t know how people hit those
It will be very interesting to see how much MLB teams will pony up to get him under contract. If you are a team without deep pockets forget about it. I would love to see him go to the Angels. Imagine a team with him, Shohei and Trout they would be unbeatable.
Baseball isn't like the NBA or NFL where one player can win you a title. Gotta have a good lineup, bullpen, good gloves on defense. To win it all you gotta have the whole package, not a few pieces.
Angels would probably waste a 3rd generational talent. I hope Ohtani, Trout, Sasaki get to play for a contender.
O'htani could be the player of the decade because he can also hit as well. But we will have to see if he can stay healthy and continue his outstanding play.
Great flexibility. Great stride and hip rotation. Lots of power harnessed that way.
Always with keeping us entertained with theses Videos keep it coming iTalk!!
👊
yes that person is very underated
He's the Ichiro of pitching.
Red Sox need to get this guy
Red Sox need a lot of things
This has happened many times and absolutely nothing can be assumed or theorized until a pitcher has played at least 1 full year in major leagues. No matter how good a pitcher is they will be facing unbelievably talented hitters every day. Hitters that will learn and formulate strategies for such pitchers as they face them multiple times throughout each series and season. The next factor is consistent performance under spotlights of sold out stadiums, packed with unforgiving die hard fans. Lastly, is the money because though it's obviously great to be getting signing bonuses and bi-weekly pay direct deposits of more money than most people make in an entire year there is great stress for both the potential of and having access to money like that.
Yes🎉Roki Sasaki will be Best Of Best, Next Shining Star in MLB. He will pitch in MLB 2025.
Very underrated channel. Keep it up!
I love baseball keep on making great videos your awesome!!!
YOU are awesome. Thank you!
For the second start, the score was 0-0 so if the Marines had at least a single run scored the manager probably would’ve kept him in the game
exactly.
real life Goro Shigeno with a slider
I almost thought that when he throws,his pitches are so fast he creates a sonic boom on every pitch,but it was just the powder,it would’ve been insane if it was a sonic boom hahaha
Great video
What’s that fluid coming off he ball? Watch him grow in slow motion. He is putting substance on the ball. You can see it coming off the ball.
I would love to see him play for the Angels, him and Ohtani would be a deadly duo
Kinda racist if you think that because they’re of Asian descent … probably didn’t mean it that way but think about what your thinking about..
What? What made you think this comment was racially motivated? Is it wrong to think that two star pitchers would make a devastating duo when pitching on the same team? Knowing someone for their ethnicity isn’t racist…
I wouldn't, because it'd just be another star wasted. It sucks Ohtani and Trout are stuck there
@BMoreCory it’s valid
@@elmopihkala402 No because that’s the world we live in. Everything is racist. I’m glad you can see it’s satire. Get this bozo and everyone in it out of office. Can you explain what a women is?
I have watched baseball since 1966 and know a good pitcher when I see one. Currently, I consider deGrom having the best stuff in the MLB. Sasaki's stuff is right up there. I hope and pray that his team in Japan (Chiba) won't abuse him. Sasaki will compete for the Cy Young Award when he comes over to the MLB when he is 25 years old. He is that good.
it's so easy to sit on our computers or on our phones and judge the managers, but we are not watching the game and don't know what the players are going through ... i respect GOOD managers looking out for the welfare of there players ... even in the shadow of horrific criticism... i hope this young pitcher stays health and excels ...
He have done perfect game as a 14th game of his career. Just insane
Lol I’m the only one coaching. GL wit those
He's Japanese with a tragic backstory... His power is unlimited.
the thing about sasaki is,even if he's already a 10 years veteran in the big league, they will still be calling him rookie ....... 😂🤣😂🤣-😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 ....
I didn't know Roki was a 311 earthquake surviver.
I wish the best for him
I’m a baseball noob that pitched on a shitty baseball team as a relief pitcher in high school. Having said that, I think to be the best pitcher in the world you need to at least pitch against the best hitters. As good as this guy is MLB hitters are best and the ones from Japan on average are not as good.
Japan making IRL anime protagonists now
Some people are just crazy talented.
Dude this is a great video.
This pitcher might strikeout shohei ohtani and Mike Trout
Brutal delivery
Forgive me if i'm stupid, but what is the substance coming off the ball upon release? Looks like a puff of smoke, or mist?
Edit 1.) Is it the residue off of the white beanbag thing?
Edit 2.) thanks Shrapnel!
You are correct, it's from the powder bag.
Your videos are VERY underrated. You should have half a million subs AT LEAST. I enjoy your take on these stories.
You just made my night, thank you!! Much appreciated
@@iTalkStudios no joke man, the subs will come with time. I might suggest making yt shorts just because that seems to get good reach for growing channels. Either way, you should feel proud of your work
That's insane !!
I hear the star wars lofi in the back HAHA
hi, im from the future and would like to inform you that shohei ohtani is in the major leagues. sorry to any1 if i spelt his name wrong
I wish the Oakland a's would invest in great pitchers, i guess they are fine with being in last place. The a's lost many games already with having the lead and then getting beat up because of not having great pitching. I miss guys like Dennis Eckersley, Greg Maddux, ...
Damn. Could watch him throw rocks in the ocean all day. Can’t wait.
I really do wish to see him in the Majors one day, but whether he is the best? I heard the same accolades when Irabu, Matzusaka, Darvish, Ohtani were coming to the U.S. The only Japanese player that has consistently done well as a pitcher was Nomo, and yet he only racked up 123 wins. Let's wait and see.
Under pressure
I can see it now "Sit down and Sasakit"
4:22 looks like BUDDY SCHULTZ struck out 16 in a row in 1971.
Come on Cashmen , get this kid now!!
I think THERE'S AN WHOLE ANIME based on his life
when Ohtani gets that let me know
??? What anime
@@iTalkStudios My bad wrong sazaki
I didn’t know the marines had a baseball team
I think it would be really cool if he stayed in Japan. He's probably getting paid good money there. He's living well you must think. That would be really cool never mind the fame and fortune he and just stay there still play still make money and be home
Good money yes. But not even close to what he could make in the majors. Plus, the major leagues are harder. When you have a competitor, they want to compete at the highest level.
When is he coming over?
His windup is silky....that left leg movement is clockwork.
Underrated content
He should be in the majors already
Well, Roki is still ripe and his fielding abilities can be doubted sometimes. Hope to see him in the MLB soon.
I could care less about his fielding ability as a pitcher. First people need to put the ball in play, and it seems his contact to bat % is low. Second he doesn’t need to be Greg Maddux on the mound. I’d take an ace posting a 2.5 ERA, 12k/9, 1.3 walks/9, opposing BA of .170, a whip of .87, nasty secondary stuff, and a cannon for an arm over a gold glove pitcher 😂😂😂.
His fastball looks nasty
He said that
well, that's a high ceiling your putting for the youngster. we'll see...
oh man i want to see this kid play ball!
Best pitchers are in the MLB, point blank period
kid would look nice in a marlins jersey he already has the M
What’s with all the particles exploding off the ball when he pitches? Are substances legal in Japan? That why he stayed?
Rosin..
It even legal in MLB
19 ks, 13 in a row during a perfect game? WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
All the talks about Japanese baseball reminds me of what they said about Ohtani, then we found out didn’t we?
The best no longer exists when it comes to new athletes coming from all over the world.
what hat is Yu Darvish wearing ?
with the red M
I love him, but I'm worried if he comes to the MLB and good hitters hit his ball, it will destroy his confidence. Hoping Roki doesn't beat himself up too hard over letting runs understanding that he is blossoming into a legend.
Lets see what he does if he makes it to the bigs.
he has arm trouble this is the reason they don’t pitch him in these big situations or limit him . also can’t count Japan against MLB stats if that is so I have seen pitchers get all their outs in a game with strike outs i have seen it happen twice that’s not a world record
I mean he is throwing a spit ball, you can clearly see it in every pitch.
Hey sasaki. My red sox needs you.
I haven’t watched this but my prediction is gonna be gerrit cole
Thanks for the content. But you're missing one key factor, or really what most people fail to consider. And that's the effect/impact these shifts will have on him, assuming they get unbanned past 2023. So it's not just a matter of ERA and whatever shift the manager decides to use that alltogether maximizes a player's potential. No, no, depending on what shift they use will greatly impact his ERA. I know that sounds like smart ask answer, but unfortunately, the reality of it is that the shifts used in major league baseball are not meant to supplement a pitcher's true potential or ability. The fact that you're shifting on the ability of the hitter over pitcher is one. Second, even if shifts are based on averages, they don't suit every pitcher. Third, and going back to the first point, the shifts you see nowdays much less encourage weak contact (which is what makes a good pitcher aside from strikeouts) and rather encourage hard hit contact. So the defense/shift is essentially tailored to captilaize on a pitcher's mistakes. That is why they shift up the middle and on the grass, for fear of what the hitter can do than unfortunately, the ability of the pitcher to fool the hitter or induce weak contact on a consistent basis. So it's a fool's paradise. I hope Roki can make it through, aside from 2023. Much less to do with hitters complaining about the shift (even though they do have a point to an extent) and rather on the ability of the pitcher to influence where the ball is hit over the hitter. In fact, if you were to create a shift that was based on fear via what hitters are capable of, you would use the shifts we see today. If you create a shift that was actually based on the ability/potential of the pitcher (which is what it really means to be a good pitcher in the first place), you would not shift your defense in a way that promoted or capitalized on your mistakes; it would be more like a straight up shift but not the extreme ones. Best of luck to him though.
