Shohei Ohtani collapsed.
LA Dodgers pitching and hitting player Shohei Ohtani started Game 7 of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Center in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on the 2nd (Korea time), but allowed 5 hits, 1 homer, 2 walks, 3 strikeouts and 3 runs in 21/3 innings.
He took the mound after three days of rest after starting Game 4, but he was not sharp. The average four-seam fastball speed was 98.9 miles, not much different from the season average, but it was not enough to overwhelm Toronto’s batters.

It started difficult by allowing the first batter George Springer to hit left in the first inning, but later struck out Nathan Rookes and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in a row to overcome the crisis. In the process of striking out Guerrero, he even blocked first baseman Springer’s steal attempt to end the inning.
I was nervous in the second inning. He walked the first batter, Bobissett, and the next batter, Addison Bazer, had a hit to the right.
He allowed Ernie Clement to hit the right-hander again with two outs and second base. It was a hit that allowed the runner on the second base to enter the home without difficulty, but Bissett, who had uncomfortable knees, failed to enter the home and loaded the bases. He escaped the crisis by striking out Andres Jimenez, the opponent’s ninth batter, with a swing and miss.
So far, it’s been okay. However, the opponent’s batting lineup and the second game in the third inning were completely different.
Springer allowed a left-handed hit, and when he faced Guerrero with one out and second base, he threw a wild pitch and was driven to third base with one out.
On the Dodgers bench, Guerrero was sent out with an intentional pitch and chose to play against Bissett.

As a result, it was a handshake. The first 88.7-mile slider thrown to Bissett was concentrated in the middle, and Bissett hit it as it was and crossed the middle fence. He hit his first home run of the postseason at the most dramatic moment.
That’s it for Ohtani, the ‘pitcher’. He turned the mound over to Justin Roblesky and went down.
