Hiroshi Sasaki Rehabilitation went into a state of stagnation and did not know if he was stuck in the shoulder or mentally

Dodge Japanese pitcher "Reiwa Monster"Ronki SasakiDue to the right shoulder injury on the injury list, the current progress of rehabilitation has stalled, head coach Roberts (Dave Roberts) said in a pre-match interview today (14th) that Sasaki's injury "has not made any new progress, and it is not possible to increase the intensity of training at present".

Former pitcher coach Mark Prior said that what Sasaki needs is to regain his confidence, which Roberts also asked about today, explaining: "I think the most important thing is health, when he can get fit, use his arsenal, pitch without pain, and believe that his ability can stabilize the hitter, he can get his confidence back."

The reporter further asked, the reason why Sasaki couldn't pull up the pitching intensity, was it because he still had pain in his shoulder or other reasons? "I don't know if he's still having a bad shoulder, or if he doesn't have the confidence to believe he's got it, whatever the reason, he's just not going to be able to pitch up right now," Roberts said.

The 23-year-old won his first major league career win away to the Warriors on May 4, but a few days later, after the May 10 away game against the Rattlesnakes, he was injured due to impingement syndrome and has been working on light passing and receiving since late May.
