Dodger star Shohei Ohtani's record-setting performance as the No. 1 pitcher in franchise history was not enough to help the team win. In an interview after the game, he said it was up to the coach to decide on a pitching change. When asked by the coach about his physical condition, he told him that he was in good shape, and replied only that he would leave it up to you to decide whether or not to make a change. Finally, after discussing with the senior management of the team and the medical team, it was decided that the pitcher should leave the game. Asked about the positioning for the playoffs, Otani said that he had discussed various possibilities, including the backstop and even the outfield, because if the backstop retires from the plate, he will not be able to continue to hit, so he may have to go to the outfield for defense. No matter what the situation is, I will always be ready to face it.
