Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani says the World Series is his higher priority than pursuing a Cy Young Award. Multiple outlets report that Ohtani is not looking to “destroy his body” in pursuit of individual pitching recognition, emphasizing that he wants to remain healthy and available for the postseason. The reports frame Ohtani’s comments as reflecting a long-term approach to workload management, particularly with the Dodgers’ championship goals in mind. While the Cy Young is presented as a possibility, Ohtani signals that he would rather prioritize team success and his ability to contribute over pushing himself to chase pitching awards. The sources are aligned on the central point that Ohtani’s decision-making is guided by readiness for the postseason rather than by award-driven incentives, and that he intends to manage his body to sustain performance through the most important stretch of the season.
