From the Field: Shane Sasaki, if, Tampa Bay Rays
…
Shane Sasaki was drafted in 2019 out of Iolani High School in Oahu, Hawaii. One of the organization’s Top 30 prospects, Sasaki spent most of the season at High-A and had a solid .840 OPS. This season he proved that his excellent 2022 season, which put him on the prospect map, was not a mirage. Tampa Bay rewarded him with an invite to the 2023 Arizona Fall League, where he hit .259/.348/.333. Sasaki was a coach during a recent high school showcase here in Oahu, and I was able to get his autograph after the event. He was very friendly.
