""I think he's chasing a little too much down below for me, lot of pull grounders. Hard to hit a ball in the air that's at your knee caps and below. And so I think that if we can get him back up a little higher, raise his sights, and get to the big part of the field, I think he'll be back to being Shohei.""
""I think so. I think so. Certainly not pressing. He doesn't press. But I do think that there's a little anxiousness to get things going. Absolutely.""
""I'm focused, as a leadoff hitter, to get on base. As long as I feel good overall...""
Shohei Ohtani's on-base streak ended at 53 games during a hitting slump, where he recorded a .172 batting average with 11 strikeouts in seven games. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts noted Ohtani's tendency to chase low pitches, suggesting an adjustment in approach to improve his hitting. Ohtani's chase rate has increased to 32.4% this season. Despite not feeling desperate, there is a sense of anxiousness in his at-bats. Upcoming games against strong pitching teams may challenge his efforts to regain form.
