If Alex Verdugo gets his wish, Angels star Shohei Ohtani might not be the only two-way player in MLB in the next couple of years.
The Red Sox outfielder is planning to work on his pitching skills this offseason and hopes to become a two-way player by 2023.
“I don’t know if I’ll pitch next year but definitely by 2023 I want to try to just be a two-way,” Verdugo told reporters on Friday. “Not a [Shohei] Ohtani where he is starting and all that. I just want to be a reliever. Come in, help the boys out, something like that.
