Friedman: Ohtani's Slump 'Trouble' for Rivals When It Ends
9 Oct
Summary
- Shohei Ohtani's hitting has been poor since returning from injury.
- Ohtani has not hit a home run or driven in a run since September.
- Dodgers president believes Ohtani's slump will end, benefiting the team.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have secured a spot in the NLCS, even with a significant slump from their star player, Shohei Ohtani. Since his return from injury in September, Ohtani has struggled at the plate, failing to hit a home run and recording only one RBI. His batting average has been notably low, impacting the team's offensive output.
Despite these offensive struggles, Dodgers leadership remains optimistic. Andrew Friedman, president of baseball operations, stated that he expects Ohtani's performance to improve, warning that rivals will face considerable challenges when the star player eventually finds his rhythm. The team anticipates Ohtani will regain his elite form, bolstering the already strong Los Angeles offense.
