"He just looks more refreshed. I think his at-bats, he's grinding more. He has the capacity to do that. I think the swing is in a better place. He's not trying to manufacture swing velocity by over-swinging. Even his last at-bat, that was just a clinic on taking the right at-bat."
"I'd like to think so. I hope so. We've got a fun series coming up and it's good to see he's swinging the bat well. Before finding success against his former Angels team, Ohtani had been mired in a 6-for-42 skid at the plate. He finally appears to be trending upward, which couldn't come at a better time with the Dodgers set to begin an important three-game series against the San Diego Padres on Monday."
"I actually felt pretty good the day before I pitched, hitting-wise. I think that helped more than the off days. Ohtani added: I feel like the posture and set up is pretty much key to a lot of my success."
"Ohtani went a combined 6-for-13 with two doubles, one triple and seven RBI in three games against the Angels. The two-way star went 3-for-5 with an RBI, which marked his second consecutive multi-hit game and first three-hit performance since April 27."
Shohei Ohtani continued a recent surge at the plate for the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 10-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels. He went 3-for-5 with an RBI, marking back-to-back multi-hit games and his first three-hit performance since April 27. The improvement followed being held out of the lineup for two straight games, with manager Dave Roberts saying Ohtani looked more refreshed and was grinding better, while his swing was in a better place. Ohtani had struggled earlier, going 6-for-42 before trending upward. He also said he felt good the day before pitching and credited his posture and setup for much of his success, ahead of an important series versus the San Diego Padres.
