Ohtani has never pitched on fewer than five days’ rest or in relief in the majors, but could pitch an inning and potentially face Angels teammate Mike Trout
TEMPE, Ariz. — The baseball world is eager to see a Shohei Ohtani-Mike Trout matchup, and those who run the Angels are no different.
Ohtani started in the quarterfinal against Italy on Thursday in Tokyo. By his normal schedule, he would not pitch again until Wednesday, at the earliest. Although most big-league pitchers routinely work on four days’ rest, Ohtani has never pitched in the majors on less than five days’ rest. Nevin said this would be Ohtani’s bullpen day before a start Friday. While he conceded that an inning in the WBC final would be far more intense than a bullpen session, he said they would simply balance that by having his Friday start moved to the controllable, low-stress environment of a minor-league game.“I trust him in the way he’d prepare for that,” Nevin said. “I know this is a really big night for baseball. I’m excited to watch it.
