With the Dodgers gearing up for the season, all eyes are on Shohei Ohtani as he prepares to throw his first bullpen session since February. This is a pivotal moment not just for Ohtani, but for the entire Dodgers organization as they navigate the complexities of managing a two-way superstar.
Dave Roberts has emphasized the importance of a careful approach, prioritizing Ohtani's hitting while easing him back into pitching. This raises some intriguing questions: How do you think the Dodgers should balance Ohtani's dual roles? Should they prioritize his pitching or hitting as the season progresses?
Moreover, with Mookie Betts facing health challenges and potentially starting the season on the injured list, how will this impact the Dodgers' chances this year? Can they still contend for the title without their star outfielder at full strength?
Let’s not forget the broader implications of Ohtani's situation. As the first player to truly excel as both a pitcher and hitter at this level, what does his management mean for the future of baseball? Are we likely to see more teams adopting a two-way player strategy, or is Ohtani a unique case?
