E<\/span>veryone wants to see\u00a0Shohei Ohtani,\u00a0especially now in the World Series against the\u00a0New York Yankees<\/strong>. There is no question that he can help the\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0on offense with his bat and running on the bases, but can he help the team on the mound?<\/p>\n

The Japanese star will end the season fulfilling only his duties as a designated hitter after the manager of the Dodgers,\u00a0Dave Roberts<\/strong>, assured that the multifunctional player will not pitch against the Yankees during the 2024 World Series.<\/p>\n

At media day before the first game, Roberts was blunt in saying that there is no way Ohtani can even make a brief appearance on the mound. “There’s no chance, none,” Roberts said at Dodger Stadium on Thursday. “Thanks for asking.”<\/p>\n
