Roki Sasaki finds success as a Dodgers relief pitcher

Roki Sasaki has been successfully repurposed as a relief pitcher for the Dodgers, silencing earlier criticism about his transition to MLB. His move to the Dodgers was unusual given his lack of full-season experience. However, his recent relief appearances, showcasing increased velocity and a refined pitch mix, have significantly altered perceptions of his readiness. Sasaki's initial struggles as a starter, marked by control issues and inconsistency, have been overshadowed by his effectiveness in shorter relief outings.
