Dodgers News Today, Shohei Ohtani spoke to Japanese media about his thoughts on pitching and the innings pitched against the Marlins. First, Ohtani stated that his top priority throughout the season is to “finish the season in good health,” and explained that as a starting pitcher, the number of innings pitched will be one of the standards. “I think the number of innings pitched is a standard,” he said, emphasizing that pitching long innings will reduce the burden on the bullpen and help the team as a whole stay in good shape. On the other hand, looking back on his pitching that day, he felt that he was unable to create a flow of the game as he continued to carry runners on his back from the beginning. “I wasn’t able to create a flow that allowed me to focus on the attack.” Rather than being unable to contribute as a batter, he points to the fact that his pitching affected the flow of the game as something to reflect on. He also talked about the mechanics of his pitch, saying that he felt something was wrong with the position of his arm and the movement of the ball. Regarding one pitch in particular, he said, “It wasn’t a good idea to throw it without hesitation,” and looked back on it as a clear issue. Regarding the use of dual-wielding players and their roles on pitching days, he said he trusts the team’s judgment and commented, “I want to play well when I’m told to go.” He once again demonstrated his commitment to contributing to the team while maintaining his condition throughout the season.
