Shohei Ohtani is ready for 2026, says manager
"I found the two outings that we saw him in games ... the intensity was there, focus was there, and the execution, all that stuff was there. He's ready to go."
"Today he had his sinker working, he had the curveball working. Just [striking] lefties out, righties out with different pitches ... shows the confidence he has."
Shohei Ohtani had a solid outing, striking out 11 batters in four innings without allowing a run. He faced challenges in the fifth inning, allowing a run before leaving the game. Despite this, manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence in Ohtani's readiness for the season, noting his intensity and execution. Ohtani's next start is against the Cleveland Guardians. The Dodgers' rotation will also include Yamamoto, Sasaki, Glasnow, and Sheehan, with Snell and Stone expected to return from injury early in the season.
