The Los Angeles Dodgers' pitching duo of Roki Sasaki and Shohei Ohtani garnered some attention due to a conversation the former revealed during the team's playoff run.
Los Angeles has shined as one of the best teams in the league, winning the NL West Division title with a 93-69 record. Ohtani and Sasaki have played major roles in helping their squad elevate to the status of title contention, even as the former has been limited in his time on the mound due to a past injury.
Sasaki recalled a discussion he had with Ohtani, per Dodgers Nation. While they haven't talked much, Sasaki noted one question that the star pitcher and hitter asked him.
“He hasn’t said much to me aside from hey, when are you pitching again?” Sasaki said.
