It's hard to argue at this point that Shohei Ohtani isn't the greatest baseball player who's ever lived. In the Dodgers' 6-5, 18-inning win over the Blue Jays in Game 3 of the World Series on Monday night—and into Tuesday morning—the 31-year-old phenom went 4-for-4 from the dish with two home runs and two doubles before being walked five times over the final 11 frames.
And yet, L.A.'s hero of the night may not have been the dual-threat star—but rather, a relief pitcher who wasn't even on the Dodgers' active playoff roster this time last week.
