Dodgers news today as Dave Roberts discusses Shohei Ohtani’s slow start at the plate and whether his increased workload as a full-time pitcher could be playing a role.
Dodgers news as Roberts acknowledged there could be a connection, pointing to the physical and mental demands that come with pitching regularly.
“There’s more demand on the pitching side… that could cut into the offensive production.”
Roberts explained that compared to last season, Ohtani is now balancing a heavier pitching load, including innings, recovery, and preparation, which naturally impacts his overall routine.
While he didn’t definitively link the struggles to pitching, Roberts said it’s “common sense” that the added workload could affect performance at the plate.
He also emphasized that Ohtani is putting in the work and will find his rhythm as the season progresses.
In addition, Roberts reflected on the 50th anniversary of Rick Monday saving the American flag, calling it a powerful moment in both baseball and American history.
“It was courageous… something we’re grateful for.”
