Both World Series teams emphasized quality starting pitchers and strategic bullpen usage. The Guardians should focus on developing their young pitchers, being bold in promoting talent from the minors, and utilizing their best pitchers in crucial moments. Additionally, the splitter has resurfaced as a key pitch, and the Guardians could benefit from improving their ability to hit or acquire players skilled in this area. The Blue Jays' playoff performance highlighted the importance of defense, athleticism, and contact hitting, while also emphasizing the need for power and patience at the plate. Lastly, the smallest details can determine playoff outcomes, so the Guardians should perfect the basics and address roster gaps to maximize their chances of ending their championship drought.
