"Those guys are really, really good. So I don't consider Ohtani struggling. I don't. It's baseball. You can go through 30 at-bats or 50 at-bats and not put up the same numbers and maybe be hitting the ball hard or whatever. But I don't have Ohtani struggling. But I want to throw lefties against him whenever we can. It's always harder for a lot of those lefties to face lefties that are throwing 95 (mph) and above, and sinkers into them."
"The Los Angeles Dodgers are two wins away from reaching the World Series for a second consecutive season despite Shohei Ohtani not producing at his usual level offensively."
"Through eight playoff games thus far, the two-way star is hitting just .147/.275/.324 with two home runs, six RBI and six walks in 40 plate appearances."
Shohei Ohtani has produced a .147/.275/.324 line through 40 postseason plate appearances, with two home runs, six RBI and six walks. Ohtani has been especially cold since the NL Division Series, going 2-for-25 with no extra-base hits and only two RBI, and he ended an 0-for-15 stretch with an RBI single in Game 2 of the NLCS. Ohtani has struggled more against left-handed pitching in the postseason. Brewers manager Pat Murphy said he does not view Ohtani as struggling but plans to deploy left-handed pitchers to exploit those matchups.
