For anyone hoping that Shohei Ohtani will pitch in the World Series, Dave Roberts and Andrew Friedman made it clear on Thursday that there was no chance of that happening.
The Dodgers manager and the team’s president of baseball operations said on Thursday the two-way superstar will only be hitting and that there would be no surprise appearances on the mound when Los Angeles battles the Yankees in the Fall Classic beginning on Friday night.
Roberts emphasized to reporters at Dodger Stadium that “there’s no possibility, none whatsoever” of Ohtani taking the mound during the World Series.
