The New York Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon is confident in facing Shohei Ohtani at the plate during the faceoff against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. While he praised Ohtani for being Ohtani, he reminded everyone that “anybody is pitchable”.

Players from both teams can’t wait for Friday night’s opening as it’ll not only be a star-studded field, but will also be two teams who haven’t faced each other in the World Series in 43 years. It is also the Yankees’ first time since 2009 that they qualified for the big stage.

The game is extremely crucial for any MLB team, especially the Yankees who have not qualified for the big stage in the last 15 years. Cortes said, if he could help the team win, he’d gladly do so, and think about surgery or further medical attention later.

We have weighed the consequences that this can lead up to, but if I have a ring and then a year off of baseball, then so be it. I’m being honest, telling them, ‘I’m as good as it can be’.

Nestor Cortes said

While the club may include him as a relief pitcher in the game, they will not be pulling him into the lineup to play in full mode. Cortes himself stated that he may be restricted to throwing 20 to 30 pitches but he’s confident “I know I’m able to do it.”
