John Smoltz : For Shohei Ohtani , you better have two lanes working.

Aaron Judge presents some problems because he's starting to close the windows of opportunities.

Juan Soto commands a strike zone and doesn't swing outside the strike zone too often.

You've got to get pitches going away from them, sliders, curveballs, which is the key.

Smoltz: He's Big Papi reincarnated — David Ortiz reincarnated.

He's a big, strong, long-levered hitter who can do damage down in the strike zone, down.

You have to make him honest inside and up above the zone, and you gotta try to again whenever you're facing these hitters, wherever they swing.

John Smoltz , a first -ballot Baseball Hall of Famer , eight -time All-Star and National League Cy Young Award winner, is FOX MLB's lead game analyst.

Rowan Kavner : "I wouldn't love pitching against him because he's not going to swing and miss. I mean, if you strike him out, you're doing something special".
