LOS ANGELES — In a postseason already bursting with drama and heroics, one line from a veteran starter has sent shockwaves through the league. After a dominant bullpen performance from Roki Sasaki, Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow stepped onto the mound and didn’t hold back:
“Roki was unbelievable,” Glasnow said. “Since coming back, coming in from the bullpen, he’s honestly one of the best pitchers I’ve ever seen. His stuff is incredible.”
That praise, coming from a seasoned armsmith like Glasnow, underscores how deep Sasaki’s impact has already become in L.A.’s
It wasn’t long ago that Sasaki was nursing an injury and rebuilding in Triple-A. But since his return on September 24, he’s transformed into the Dodgers’ go-to weapon in high-leverage innings.
In Game 4 of the NLDS, he silenced the Phillies over three no-hit innings, securing a spot in the NLCS for L.A.
Meanwhile, Glasnow held his own on the bump, delivering six shutout innings with eight strikeouts — yet couldn’t help but marvel at the relief ace’s composure.
Sources say Sasaki’s fastball, slider, and splitter arsenal have flashed electric life, with hitters consistently off balance.
When your own starting pitcher is calling out your bullpen arm as elite, that’s not just lip service. It’s a sign of belief, chemistry, and perhaps the makings of a legend.
Glasnow’s endorsement carries weight. He’s no stranger to high expectations: signed to a $136.5 million contract extension with the Dodgers, he knows what it takes to perform under pressure.
For Sasaki, still in his early MLB days, this moment is magnified. He’s blazing through October, carrying the weight of expectations and whispers of superstardom.
If the Dodgers do go deep this postseason, this moment — Glasnow’s praise, Sasaki’s emergence — might be remembered as the spark that lit the way.
If you like, I can also draft a shorter “social media alert” version or translate it into Vietnamese. Do you want me to send that next?
