Los Angeles – Shohi Ohtani Postsen’s approach has proved to be a viable initial pitcher, but Doders Manager Dave Roberts on Wednesday admitted that the organization considered whether it could be more valuable in helping the tired bulpen-perhaps especially in a small range of three-market wild-card rounds.
It is more likely that the Ohtani will serve as one of the beginning of the doseers in the playoffs, but Roberts said that the possibility of helping out of the bulpane is “something about what we are all talking about.”
“I know we are going to talk about it,” Roberts said. “I think one thing you can say, however, it is that we use it every seven days, eight days, nine days – [11] In the midst of their final beginnings, so to think that it is now possible for a person who has not come last year, or has not come last year, or has not done last year, then now put it in a role that is very, very unique, because he is a very systematic, disciplined, regular-operated person. The pen is full opposite, right? You can potentially take at risk, and we have come far, with the baby gloves and management. ,
The caution of the doors became clear on Tuesday during the management of Ohtani’s return in view of the second repair of his Ulnar collateral ligament, when Roberts removed him after five no-in innings despite just 68 pitches. The decision was predetermined, Roberts said, “A task of the team’s hesitation to push Ohtani beyond the five-inning threshold this season.”
Ohtani said that he understands the decision but he said that he wanted to “pitch the pitch for a long time as much as possible. Later, addressing the Japanese media, Ohthani expressed an openness to play outfield to stay in a lineup after getting out as a reliever, saying: “I have interacted with various people, and I have the idea of pitching in relief. But no matter what my way comes. “
The two-way rules of Major League baseball, adopted in 2019, allows Ohtani to remain as a hitter in the game if it starts on the mound and is replaced. But if he starts a game in the form of a nominated hitter, the pitching at relief, the doors lose the DH, when the ohtani stops pitching. In that case, Oatani’s only way to remain in the game will have to play outfield – something she did seven times. Los angels angels In 2021.
Ohtani has not done any work in the outfield this season. Dozers naturally hesitate to add more responsibilities to a player that is a catalyst that is above his lineup, not to mention the danger of a valid theft.
Asked if Ohthani is on his radar in the outfield, Roberts smiled and said, “No.”
“There are lots of variables,” Roberts said, “But to find out that he can potentially run out of there, it’s great. Perhaps just in principle. But then, I also love to throw him out of there.”
Doseers have long been open to the possibility of closing a significant game in October – the way they did to seal a championship for their original Japan in the 2023 World Baseball Classic – but the possibility of helping as a reliever has increased as Bulpen has continued to struggle and the rotation has taken the form.
There are five other effective starts in Los Angeles Yoshinobbu yamamoto, Blake Snell, Tyler glass, Clayton Care And Emmet SheihanThe latter of which has also proved to be effective outside the bulpane. Some of his highest-foot reliances- Blake Tranen, Tanner scott, Kirby Yets And Michael Copek Of them – have struggled for different degrees.
If Ohtani was pitching in relief, it would be in the ninth innings. But warmly warm in the bulpane If it is coming to bat, or if he needs to run the hideouts, it can prove to be difficult. And the doseers will either be at risk of losing it as a hitter or forcing him to play outfield if the game expands into the additional innings.
“I don’t know that this is a pipe dream,” Roberts told Ohtani to play outfield, “But it’s much commendable with Shohi.”
