Summary

Ohtani's Versatile Role

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is contemplating using Shohei Ohtani in various roles for Game 7 against the Blue Jays.
Ohtani pitched 93 pitches in Game 4 and could act as an opener or outfielder, but pitching after being a designated hitter would eliminate the DH.
Roberts stated that all options are being considered for the crucial game.
Ohtani has no MLB relief pitching experience but has relevant experience from Japan and the World Baseball Classic.
He is batting .250 with eight home runs in the postseason.
