If Shohei Ohtani leads off tomorrow, as he has almost all season and every game the last two monthsβ¦
He would be the first starting pitcher to lead off in a postseason game
Only SP to hit anywhere other than 8 or 9 in postseason, as of now:

Shantz in 1953
In 2014 at a festival outside his hometown of Pottstown
Sept. 26, 1925: Bobby Shantz, a star lefthanded pitcher whose honors included the 1952 American League most valuable player award, is born in Pottstown, Pa. The last living person to have played for the Philadelphia Athletics or played in the 1940s, he turns 100 today.

The season is almost over and the Rockies have the worst position player fWAR in all of baseball, the worst starting pitcher fWAR in all of baseball, and the worst relief pitcher fWAR in all of baseball

Here's a thing: Blake Treinen has been losing P in each of LA's last 5 losses.
Dating back to 1912, this is a first. 13 times, one pitcher has worn four of his team's losses in a row. (Most recently: 1994 Tim Belcher, Tigers). But never five!

Jeff was an elite person, a great mentor for many (including me), and I loved our time together with the White Sox.

Lots of records/milestones in the KBO today.
Cody Ponce became the pitcher ever to start the season 15-0 and the fastest to record 200 strikeouts. He now has a 1.61 ERA, 202 Ks, and, based on WAR, is on pace to have the fourth-best pitching season ever (the best since the 1980s).
