Why not let him pitch? There's no downside to letting him and he's an above average pitcher.

Because if he blows out his arm during the season you lose his bat for at least 6 months and with it his 40/40 prowess. And yes, he is a well above average starting pitcher, no argument there.
I don’t doubt Shohei wants to pitch. But Shohei isn’t the ultimate decision maker when Billions of dollars are at stake.
