Remember this kid’s name. He is a 20 year old pitching phenom currently mowing down the Japanese hitters. Yu Darvish has mentioned him having Otahni like stuff, as he casually tosses a 101 MPH fastball with a devastating splitter. Recently he threw a perfect game, struck out 15 straight hitters and broke a world record for consecutive hit less innings. I don’t know when he tests the waters of MLB, but whoever signs him will be getting a stellar prospect.

The Padres have scouted him as one of the few (maybe the only team with a full-time dedicated scout in the Pacific Rim) but without an international draft, he won't be posted until 2027, unless Chiba Lotte honors a request to post him earlier. That's very, very uncommon for Japanese players.

Perhaps the CL Marines will be given an offer they can’t refuse, however it should be pointed out the kid only has 150 professional innings to his credit. If he keeps on dominating, who knows.

Doesn't work like that. It's up to the club to post him or the player to request themselves to be posted. Nobody can offer anything until he's officially posted by the Marines.

Well in that case, it may be a while before this guy gets to the MLB. The Chiba Lotte Marines are going to want to get some innings and maybe a championship out of Sasaki’s talented arm.

This Kid Sasaki….woah! Dominant at the WBC. I don't know about DOMINANT. Today, he went 4 innings, 5 hits, 3 earned runs, all of which came on a home run by Urias. They ended up winning with a walk off double to score two runs, and will now face the USA for the Championship.
