"Ohtani has played four games on days following his starts, and he's taken a total of 15 at-bats in them. He's collected just one hit. He's struck out six times."
"Ohtani will remain a two-way player for the remainder of the regular season, and he will remain a two-way player in October."
"Ohtani is the best hitter on a team that can't hit much of anything lately. He is the best pitcher on a team with an injury-ravaged pitching staff."
"Ohtani pitched three innings, the damage inflicted against him limited to Buxton's homer even though he was plagued by control problems."
Shohei Ohtani has not performed well at the plate following his pitching appearances, recording just one hit in 15 at-bats over four games, along with six strikeouts. Despite concerns, he will continue as a two-way player for both the regular and postseason. His contributions are crucial to the Dodgers, both as a top hitter on a struggling team and as a key pitcher amid recent injuries. In a recent game, he pitched three innings and managed to limit runs despite control issues.
