Amazing video, hope to see more from you, keep grinding and im sure you are gonna get a lot more views!

[@MinorLeagueMinute]

Thank you so much! That means the absolute world. We’ll have another vid out later this week! 🔥

[@Jbait]

sasaki has a low number of innings mainly because the pitching rotation in japan is 7 pitchers instead of the MLB 5 pitcher rotation, hope this helps

[@MinorLeagueMinute]

Thank you so much! That, along with the 143 game season, plays a pivotal role in his limited innings!

[@jykim3604]

6 pitchers, not 7.

[@ChairmanMeow1]

Its six, but yea, still a good point

[@CalebAndrews-s4d]

How does he qualify for a prospect if he won’t throw a single pitch in MiLB?

[@MinorLeagueMinute]

Because he’s technically signing a minor league deal right now. There are some nuances that come with that. Hope this article helps!!

An ERA of 2.10 and the almost useless metric, Won-Loss, of 29-15, which indicates that his team doesn't hit well, or doesn't hit well when this guy is pitching.
And BTW, a pitch can't "rise"

[@MinorLeagueMinute]

Agreed that the win-lose metric is more and more useless by the day due to factors like lack of run support. A pitch can have a “rising” effect, meaning it drops less on its way in. It’s more of an illusion than anything else. Thanks Malcolm!
