One of the favorites to sign Roki Sasaki had their meeting with the Japanese pitcher on Saturday as the Los Angeles Dodgers became the sixth team to get a one-on-one interaction with the young flamethrower.

At 23 years of age, Roki Sasaki has already established himself as one of the deadliest arms in the baseball world. He has pitched four seasons in the NPB earning a 2.10 ERA over 394.2 innings.

But because he is under 25, Sasaki will only be able to sign in the international bonus pool. That has given all teams a fair chance at getting his services as the bonus pool is a limited total of $7.55 million.
