phenom

Sasaki, a 23-year-old phenom from Japan, arrived with what many pitching evaluators deemed as some of the best raw stuff in the sport, cementing the Dodgers’ triumphant winter by picking them from roughly 20 teams.

The rising phenoms onstage all paid tribute to Drakeo: Lefty Gunplay even told the crowd how he dreamed of being in the Stinc Team.

And then came Wednesday, when they officially partnered with the lanky 100-mph Japanese phenom that the entire league coveted.

The crowd went nuts, giving the 23-year-old Japanese pitching phenom a louder and more enthusiastic response than many celebrities receive while attending Lakers games.

Sure, they wooed the 23-year-old phenom with presentations from their front office, coaching staff and player development department early in the process.
