The U.S. media appealed: Shohei Ohtani's strike value is too high, and he should not continue to be obsessed with wanting to return to the pitcher's hill

Major League Baseball (MLB) Los Angeles DodgersJapanese superstar Shohei Ohtani aims to return to the second stream this season, but the American media "Sportico" wrote an article on the 16th that Shohei Ohtani's hitting value is too high, and he should not continue to be obsessed with wanting to return to the pitcher's hill.

Since suffering another elbow injury on August 23, 2023, Ohtani has yet to board on the board of Major League Pitcher Chu. Still, he was the designated hitter and achieved an amazing feat, reaching 50 hits and 50 thieves in a single season last year to help the Dodgers win the championship. According to Sportico, Ohtani is one of the best hitters today, even surpassing Yankee Judge in key moments.

Ohtani has undergone his second career ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction surgery, and the Dodgers continue to put him in pitching drills to try to get him back to the pitcher's mound. Sportico bluntly said that this makes one wonder why Ohtani is risking injury again to destroy everything that is perfect at the moment, and points out that although the Dodgers' starting rotation in the past two years has been like a medical tent, he still has one of the best records in the league, and even if "Pitcher Ohtani" does not return, he is still expected to win the championship again, "In fact, he shouldn't have pitched at all." ”

"Sportico" also admits that Ohtani is actually an injury-prone player, since joining the Angels in 2018, he has undergone 2 elbow surgeries, 1 knee surgery, and left shoulder labral tear repair surgery, and it is also Dodger should be worried that Ohtani's blow value is too high to continue to take risks.

"Sportico" said at the end of the article that don't forget that after the Yankees bought the same second-rate Babe Ruth from the Red Sox, because he hit too amazingly, he simply stopped letting him shoot, and since then Babe Ruth has started 4 games and finally accumulated 714 hits in his career, "The Dodgers should do the same, Ohtani shouldn't even shoot these 4 games." ”
