Let him do both. He is a unicorn and people want to cut off the horn. I understand the concern, and I’m sure Ohtani understands the concern. But he himself wants to do both, so let him. Maybe one day he will have to choose, but not yet.
Yeah, you’re right. He won’t mind if it shortens his career. His belief for doing both has been really strong since he entered Japan league. And it was the biggest reason he chose the Angels. Do both to his limit or die trying, thats what he wants.
funny thing is ik we're getting used to this but we shouldn't forget that what he's doing something that probably we'll never see again In a hundred years
"I wonder if Otani needs to play in every position."-Ten years later, it would be invincible if nine were pitchers and home run batters who could protect the infield. The catcher also has a stealing prevention rate of 80%.
Ohtani shut down as a pitcher? Great! Then maybe the Giants can offer him a pitcher-hitter position all day. We can definitely use him for the Giants! It's not an issue in the national league.
BK' s "mentally harder to be a starting pitcher than a reliever" is utter BS....relievers have a much more stressful job, plus...is Ohtani's arm able to handle pitching 2-4 times a week instead of just once a week as a starter? Some can't
As a non baseball fan it would be the biggest mistake in league history for him to stop pitching. Can’t believe people paid to market the sport are even suggesting it. I don’t consume any MLB content unless it has Ohtani in it nowadays. Don’t think I’d care about him as much if he stopped pitching.
