At 37 now, coming off one of his best seasons and after re-signing with the Mets, Ottavino said he wants to pitch as long as possible.
But with a third child due in May, he does not foresee jumping from playing to actual coaching. Instead, he imagines keeping the Harlem facility open, “But never as a business.” No, Ottavino has gained wisdom about the art of pitching and he loves baseball and he loves paying it forward as Matt Belisle and Rafael Betancourt once did for him in the Colorado bullpen. So this is not business for Ottavino. It is pleasure.
“Behind closed doors, I’ll share it all with guys and see if something resonates,” Ottavino said. “Because when I was a younger player, you’re just looking for that one piece of knowledge from an older guy that sets you on the right path. You know that thing that clicks for you and really makes things better.”
