In Game 4 of the National League Championship Series, Shohei Otani started as the “No. 1 DH and pitcher.” Three consecutive strikeouts in the first inning, followed by a home run by the first batter. He also hit extra-large shots in the 4th and 7th innings, and pitched no runs during the 7th inning with 10 strikeouts, an impressive performance. The highest level of dual-wielding in history has fully awakened in the postseason.
