Mookie Betts said he doesn't care where he is in the Dodgers lineup next season, whether it be leadoff, second or third.'Whatever's optimal for the team.'
Ohtani certainly has a case for hitting leadoff too. He has an .897 OPS from the leadoff slot in his MLB career, and his speed makes him a larger threat on the basepaths; he swiped 20 bags last year. However, Ohtani has had his most success ( in a larger sample size) when batting second - a 1.013 OPS.
