Still, Ohtani has been performing admirably.
Ohtani passed Hideki Matsui to become the top player in Major League Baseball who is Japanese-born with his 176th home run on Sunday. Prior to Tuesday’s game in Washington, Ohtani led the major leagues in hits (35), doubles (11), total bases (63), and batting average (.368).
Roberts stated, “He can change the game with a swing of the bat, and his increased discipline in the strike zone only adds to his scary factor.” Ohtani signed a record-breaking $700 million, ten-year contract with the Dodgers in December after leaving the Los Angeles Angels. Due to elbow surgery in September of last year, the two-way star will not be pitching this year.
