Shohei Ohtani. Jake Arrieta. These guys were unlocked by Maddon's belief that you shouldn't mess with greatness. For Shohei, it was to stop coddling him. Give him more, not less. Quit monitoring him so closely, and let him go be an athlete. For Arrieta, it was to let him pitch cross-body. Let him pitch complete games. Let him be himself. There is so much wisdom from Joe Maddon in this episode today. I hope you enjoy.
