Ohtani to Pitch, Possibly Hit in Next Start

After a dominant pitching performance against the Mets where Ohtani struck out 10 batters in 6 innings, manager Dave Roberts suggested Ohtani could return to both pitching and hitting duties. In his previous start, Ohtani was held out of the lineup as a hitter after being hit by a pitch earlier in the week.

The Dodgers are still evaluating the best approach for Ohtani on days he starts on the mound. His next outing will provide further insight into how effective he can be while balancing both pitching and hitting roles. betsport.cv
