Shohei Ohtani reacted after throwing six hitless innings but admitted he was frustrated with his command throughout the outing despite the dominant results.
Ohtani said he spent much of the night battling with his control and inability to consistently locate pitches where he wanted.
“I felt like I was fighting my command all night.”
The Dodgers superstar discussed:
Throwing six hitless innings
Why he was frustrated despite the results
Walking too many hitters
Why walks bother him more than giving up hits
Credit to the Dodgers defense
Not allowing much hard contact
The bullpen’s dominant consistency
Why the Dodgers feel unbeatable with a late lead
Wanting to pitch deeper into games
Why walks hurt his rhythm and efficiency
Increasing his sweeper usage lately
Using the sweeper more against left-handed hitters
The importance of mechanics both pitching and hitting
Ohtani explained that while the no-hit result looked impressive on paper, he actually prefers outings where he gives up a few singles but attacks hitters efficiently instead of issuing walks.
“I’d rather give up some hits than walks.”
The Dodgers two-way star also praised the bullpen for constantly shutting games down once the team carries a lead into the late innings.
“If we can get through seven innings with the lead, it feels like we can win.”
