“I feel at ease when I’m with her,” Roki Sasaki said when asked what made him marry. I am free to be who I am. “Since games are about to begin, I wanted to share this news beforehand,” he continued when asked about the announcement’s timing. While the name or identity of his wife isn’t known yet, it is known that she isn’t a celebrity.

“My partner is a kind person,” Roki Sasaki said in an interview at the Dodgers’ training camp in Glendale, Arizona. “Although I was a bit worried since it’s my first year in the majors, I hope we can work together and support each other.”
According to Roki Sasaki, he didn’t marry a famous person. Similarly, Ohtani made the same statement the previous year, and it was revealed that he married an “ordinary” woman but his partner turned out to be Mamiko Tanaka, a former professional basketball player.
During spring training, Ohtani refused to disclose her identify or any other information, but when they flew to South Korea together for the Dodgers’ season opener, he didn’t attempt to conceal her.
At next month’s Tokyo Series, Sasaki’s wife’s identity might be unveiled similarly.
About Roki Sasaki
Roki Sasaki is currently in Arizona getting ready for his eagerly awaited MLB debut. Prospect analysts have compared the right-hander to Paul Skenes and Stephen Strasburg, making him one of the most anticipated pitching prospects in modern baseball history. His potential is as high as any baseball arms, but he is far from certain, primarily because of his health.
Because the 23-year-old arrived more than two years before he would have been eligible to earn a nine-figure contract, the Dodgers were able to provide Sasaki an incredible bargain of $6.5 million as a signing bonus.
Shohei Ohtani got married two months after he signed with the Dodgers.

With a devilish splitter that is regarded as one of the best pitches in the world and a fastball that sat in the upper 90s and frequently reached 100 mph, Sasaki was able to get by in the NPB. The greater question is whether he can stay on the mound for the duration of an MLB season, even if he has been working on a slider for the past year or so. In Japan, he has never thrown more than 130 innings.
