Shohei Ohtani has struggled to produce with zero hits when the bases are empty in the postseason, raising concerns despite his overall strong hitting with runners on base.
Manager Dave Roberts noted Ohtani's discomfort at the plate against left-handed pitcher Sean Manaea, emphasizing the strategy of pitching away from him to exploit this weakness.
Despite Ohtani's struggles, Roberts remains steadfast in keeping him at the leadoff position, believing he is the Dodgers' best hitter and should have ample opportunities to get on base.
Roberts highlighted that the Dodgers' offense has generally remained strong, with other players contributing well at the plate, affirming the importance of Ohtani's at-bats in the lineup.
