"Enjoy the moment, embrace it, control your emotions and go out and continue to execute whatever [helped] you to get here. Don't try to do too much," Delgado told CBC in an interview this week. "You just can't change overnight. You just can't do things that you didn't do in the regular season. Just hit the ball. Put the ball in play. Work the count. Elevate pitch counts," Delgado said."
"Ohtani is "one of the most talented players ever to step on a baseball field," Delgado says. "He can throw 100 with a nasty split and a sweeper. [...] he can also run." He suggests throwing "breaking balls, down in the dirt" against him, And, in one word, if you don't have to pitch to him... "don't." "Just go to the next guy.""
Carlos Delgado holds franchise records in home runs, RBI, extra-base hits, runs scored, doubles, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage for the Toronto Blue Jays and earned a 1993 World Series ring. Reaching the World Series brings respect, credibility, and added responsibilities because opponents target successful teams. Advice for big games: enjoy the moment, embrace it, control emotions, and continue executing the habits that produced regular-season success. Specific tactical guidance includes hitting the ball, putting the ball in play, working counts, elevating pitch counts, and, when facing Shohei Ohtani, avoiding him when possible or using breaking balls down in the dirt.
