Dave Roberts broke down the Dodgers’ offensive breakout and what changed, highlighting the impact of Shohei Ohtani.
After a slow start to the season, the lineup came alive, and Roberts pointed to a key shift in approach.
He noted Ohtani was using the whole field more effectively, taking better at-bats and staying within himself instead of trying to do too much.
That adjustment made a difference.
“When Shohei plays well, it’s a weight off everyone.”
Roberts explained that once Ohtani gets going, it naturally lifts the entire lineup, creating momentum throughout the order.
He also acknowledged that early-season struggles were overblown from the outside, describing the noise around the offense during the homestand as just that, noise.
Inside the clubhouse, confidence never changed.
On the field, the results followed.
The top of the lineup broke out, hitters stopped missing pitches in the zone, and the Dodgers turned consistent traffic into runs.
Roberts believes this performance could be the start of the offense finding its rhythm moving forward.
