Los Angeles Angels' Shohei Ohtani wants to remain 2-way player in 2021

LOS ANGELES -- Shohei Ohtani wants to remain a two-way player for the Los Angeles Angels, even though he didn't come close during the shortened season to matching his performance from 2018.

Ohtani went 1 for 4 with a strikeout -- and grounded out to first for the final out -- in a 5-0 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday that ended the Angels' season.

The Japanese star batted .190 during the 60-game season. Pitching-wise, he suffered a forearm strain that limited him to parts of three innings over two games before he had to shut it down on the mound.
