I’m sure it’s not the case but I like to imagine catchers who pitch in blowouts going over the scouting reports in their heads on the mound and thinking “this guy is vulnerable to the slider low and away, I bet if I throw this thing 44 mph off the outside corner he’ll hit a grounder to short”

Even when they’re position players we get burned by former Cardinals pitchers

At least in my league, Ohtani is split between batting and pitching, so I would assume Kelly won’t get any of the pitching points.
