Roberts has said all the right things about Sasaki, but he’s also admitted that he needs to improve. However, if the Dodgers expect him to be the arm he was expected to be, that'll likely come from development at the major league level.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts spoke out against the Colorado Rockies for their decision to fire longtime manager Bud Black on Sunday.

While the Los Angels Dodgers have been one of the best teams in baseball over the past 12 seasons, the rest of their National League West opponents have often lagged behind.

One criticism that Sasaki has faced in his first season with the Dodgers is his noticeably lower velocity. While this has created concern among Dodgers fans, manager Dave Roberts made it abundantly clear that he is not worried about Sasaki's velocity but rather his control.

Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani is one of the best hitters in baseball year after year, generating offense that few can match, even though his pitching has been sidelined due to Tommy John surgery.

While Shohei Ohtani continues to make progress toward pitching again in 2025, he’s providing the Los Angeles Dodgers with yet another productive season atop their lineup.
