One possible reason for the slight dip could be the hamstring contusion that Ohtani suffered a couple of weeks ago when he was hit in the leg on a pickoff attempt.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts compared Ohtani's current hamstring injury to the back discomfort he previously experienced, noting similarities in the slight variation of Ohtani's swing.
Roberts emphasized Ohtani's need to focus on staying to the big part of the field as a remedy for his recent struggles at the plate.
Despite his recent slump, Ohtani's numbers still stand among the best in the league, showcasing his overall consistent performance.
