Dave Roberts, on his decision to bat Ohtani 2nd: '(Hitting) in front of Freddie gives Shohei a lot of protection and the ability to use the foot speed component in front of Freddie. I think we'll create a lot of scoring from 1B and a potential stolen-base threat.' - Doug Padilla
Ohtani is a two-time American League Most Valuable Player, and has hit anywhere from first to third in the lineup. His place in the lineup might not look like a big deal, but Roberts believes he will greatly complement others by hitting second in the lineup.
