Dave Roberts broke down Shohei Ohtani’s first start of the season against the Cleveland Guardians, highlighting his efficiency, composure, and elite mindset on the mound.
Roberts praised Ohtani’s ability to command the game despite tough conditions.
“Efficient… the pitch mix was good, he sequenced really well.”
He also pointed out how locked in Ohtani was with catcher Will Smith, executing the game plan throughout.
Beyond the performance, Roberts emphasized something that separates Ohtani when he’s pitching.
“His demeanor when he’s pitching is different… he’s more critical of himself.”
According to Roberts, Ohtani holds himself to a higher standard on the mound because of the control he has as a pitcher.
“He thinks he can control it more… and in some ways, he can.”
Even after a strong outing, Ohtani wasn’t fully satisfied, something Roberts says is completely normal.
“He’s never going to be satisfied… that’s what fuels him.”
Roberts also highlighted how impressive the outing was considering the circumstances, including weather and limited buildup.
“He’s unflappable.”
