Shohei Ohtani's History-Making Moment in the World Series
In Game 7 of the World Series, Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani became the first pitcher to record a hit while starting a Game 7 in over 50 years. The moment was marked by boos from the Blue Jays faithful at the Rogers Centre, where Ohtani singled off Max Scherzer to start the game and quieted the crowd.
Ohtani's historic achievement not only brought back memories of Don Gullett and Bill Lee, who were the last pitchers to record a hit in Game 7, but also highlighted his versatility as a player. With a unique rule that allows starting pitchers to continue hitting despite being removed from the mound, Ohtani was able to stay in the game upon being taken out.
As the Dodgers looked to make history, manager Dave Roberts made the decision to start Ohtani on the mound, ensuring that he could keep his bat in the lineup. However, it's unclear how deep Ohtani will pitch into the game, as the Dodgers hope for a Hollywood ending despite some unique rules that could have prevented him from picking up the bat and taking the mound.
Ohtani's performance marked an exciting moment in the World Series, showcasing his talent on both the mound and at the plate. As the game continues to unfold, fans are eagerly awaiting Ohtani's next move and what it will bring for the Dodgers' chances of winning the championship.

, i was literally watching the game and my jaw dropped when i saw ohtani up there at bat! he's like the real deal, you know? not only is he a genius on the mound, but he's also got some serious pop at the plate. it's crazy that they even thought of letting him stay in as a hitter after taking him out, talk about thinking outside the box 
. i'm loving how this series is shaping up, and with ohtani on their side, the dodgers are definitely a force to be reckoned with now.
11 pitchers have now achieved this feat in Game 7 
what a stat! 
I'm loving how Ohtani's got the Dodgers covered, he's like a superhero on the mound 
️ but gotta wonder if his bat will come out again when he replaces himself as starter - what if it doesn't go well? 
also 2.5 ERA and 150 Ks in the playoffs so far is straight fire 
he's gonna be the GOAT or at least one of them 
. I mean, who doesn't love watching a pitcher crush it on the mound AND at the plate? Shohei Ohtani is the real MVP right now 
. It's crazy to think about Don Gullett and Bill Lee being the last guys to pull off that feat back in the day... what were they even doing, getting taken out of the game just because they wanted a hit? 
.
. I'm curious to see how deep Ohtani will go and if he'll actually be able to lead the Dodgers to a championship 
️.
. Can't wait to see what else this World Series has in store for us! 
its like he has super powers or something!! what do u think about this rule that lets pitchers keep hitting? is it cool or does it ruin the game?? btw, have u tried making homemade pizza from scratch? 
i just tried and its pretty meh lol
it makes me wonder though... what would happen if we gave everyone that kind of freedom? would our lives be more exciting, more unpredictable? or would it just be chaos 
It's like he's trying to make us forget about the whole 'pitcher can't hit' thing from back in the day... 
Shohei Ohtani is straight up a superhero! I mean, who needs a second act when you're already doing everything right? I love how he's not afraid to take risks and do his own thing on the field. That was such a cool moment, I'm so stoked for him and the Dodgers! It's like they say, "You can't script this stuff" 
And what's up with the rule that lets starting pitchers keep hitting? Genius or confusing? Either way, it's all good when Shohei's involved! 
. Who knew being taken out of the game could actually be a good thing? 
. Can't wait to see what happens next - will he crush it at the plate or just end up like Don Gullett 
?
. Now, I'm curious to see how far he'll take this and if the Dodgers will actually win the championship 
like who else can say they hit a ball off one of the best pitchers in the game?! and can you believe he was taken out but still got to stay in the game? what's next for him?? is he gonna start crushing it on the mound and then switch to pitching? i need more of this kind of magic from shohei ohtani
