It's a great staff for Pacific Rim talent, not just one individual.

Here is a good breakdown about how much big league teams have evolved in terms of the Pacific Rim scouting and information gathering approach.

Surprisingly, some big league teams still do not staff or scout in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China, ignoring so much talent.

There have been 12 players to hit 3+ HR in a Postseason game.

There have been 16 pitchers to have a Postseason game with 6+ IP, 2 hits or fewer, 10+ K, and 0 runs allowed.

Only one did both on the same night.

Ohtani...unique, dominant excellence.

Shohei arrived in the big league in spring training 2018, and
a lot of people were adamant about his inability to pitch AND hit in the big leagues.

In fact, some teams didn't even scout him in Japanโ€”puzzling strategy. They know who they are.

Hmmm...๐Ÿค”

Only 9 times this year did an MLB pitcher throw 10+ splitters in a game and average <600 RPM on those splitters.

All 9 times it was Rลki Sasaki. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

If Shohei Ohtani leads off tomorrow, as he has almost all season and every game the last two monthsโ€ฆ

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:

1918 WS G4 Babe Ruth, 6th

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!

If you're looking for a positive item today, watch "Jeff Torborg: A Wonderful Baseball Life" when it debuts tonight at 6 PM (CDT) on the Last Comiskey YouTube channel.

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