"Shohei Ohtani struggled to begin the postseason but at times has looked more like his usual self at the plate since a record-setting performance in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series. Ohtani hit his first career home run in the World Series on Friday, and through two games against the Toronto Blue Jays, has gone 2-for-8 with a pair of RBI and one walk."
"Certainly having him healthy going in is a great thing. I think him kind of feeding off that last game is a good thing. Last year, it was just more of just being able to post and stand in the batter's box and do whatever he could to sort of help us, where I think this year he's equipped to have a big series."
Shohei Ohtani struggled early in the postseason but regained form after a record-setting Game 4 in the NLCS. He hit his first career World Series home run and is 2-for-8 with two RBI and a walk through two games against Toronto. Having him healthy is a major advantage, and momentum from the NLCS performance should help. A smart, disciplined approach is necessary because opponents will pitch him carefully. Ohtani remains a looming, game-changing presence in the Dodgers lineup even when hits are scarce, as opponents intentionally walked him multiple times and he took on-field batting practice during the postseason.
