If Dodgers can get playoff relief from Ohtani, they should
Toronto Star|September 14, 2024
When the Dodgers last won the World Series in 2020, the final seven outs were perfectly navigated by a pitcher who had worked out of the bullpen just once that season.

If Dodgers can get playoff relief from Ohtani, they should

Shohei Ohtani hasn't been a reliever in many years, but closed out the U.S. to win the 2023 World Baseball Classic.

Julio Urías was not a reliever, but the Dodgers were nimble and smart and out of this gutsy decision, a title was forged.

Fast-forward to this October, when, if the Dodgers find themselves in a similar position — and they probably will — they should have the courage to make a similar manoeuvre. The saviour pitcher? Shohei Ohtani.

The Dodgers have spent all summer saying Ohtani will not pitch this season while rehabbing from elbow surgery, but that rehab should soon end, just in time for his team to encounter an inning that requires three outs to win a series or a ring.
