Blue Jays' Bold Move: Avoid Ohtani's Bat in World Series Strategy

In a strategic gamble, the Toronto Blue Jays have opted to avoid pitching to Los Angeles Dodgers' standout Shohei Ohtani after his remarkable Game Three performance in the World Series.

This decision follows Ohtani's extraordinary display, where he hit two doubles and two home runs. Manager John Schneider declared the new approach to avoid being bested by Ohtani's bat, drawing praise from Dodgers' Dave Roberts as a sign of respect.

The tactic presents challenges, notably contending with the powerhouse lineup of the Dodgers, including stars like Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman. Meanwhile, Ohtani prepares for his pitching debut, aiming to take the Dodgers closer to another championship.
