Shohei Ohtani showcased his health with a leadoff home run in his Cactus League debut, prompting discussions on his workload. Manager Dave Roberts expressed uncertainty about balancing Ohtani's performance as both a hitter and a pitcher, hinting at likely fewer plate appearances this season compared to his previous year. Roberts emphasized the importance of ongoing conversations regarding Ohtani's schedule and reiterated that the Dodgers don't want to impose rigid limits, acknowledging Ohtani's capability to still perform effectively when given opportunities.
I don't think he's going to get the same number of at-bats, plate appearances, given that he's going to be pitching... I think he can be just as productive.
It's unfair to everyone to put a number on it where I really have no idea. I just don't know if it's going to be before a start day to prepare.
