Guerrero made the comments in an exclusive Spanish-language interview, recalling how the Jays nearly upset the defending champion Dodgers in the World Series. Despite Ohtani's struggles (7.56 ERA over 8.1 innings), Guerrero noted he only managed one hit off the two-way star - a crucial two-run homer in Game 4.
While Guerrero acknowledged Ohtani's difficulties on the mound, he reserved special praise for Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, calling him 'nasty' and the true MVP who 'takes the bat out of your hands.' The Dodgers ultimately won back-to-back titles after taking Games 6 and 7.
