A Few Questions First


Back forever ago, we fourth graders at St. Gall peppered Sister Jerome Marie with questions about what qualified as a mortal sin and what would happen if we got hit by a bus on the way to Confession to confess said sins. (The good news was we were in the clear because we were acting on the intention of freeing ourselves from sin.)  So, the following Shohei Ohtani questions are asked for fourth-graders everywhere.

If Ohtani starts for an American League team, is he both pitcher and DH?  If only a pitcher and the DH later plays the field and Ohtani is still pitching, does he hit?  As a pitcher, can he hit for the DH in order to take advantage of a lefty-righty matchup?  Does that mean the team then loses the DH?  If Ohtani comes off the bench to pinch hit for the DH, can he then go in to relieve?  What happens to the DH?

Inquiring minds want to know.
