The Los Angeles Dodgers advanced to the National League Championship Series while superstar Shohei Ohtani batted just .056 in the NLDS.
His one hit in 18 at-bats is certainly alarming, but including the two Wild Card games as well, Ohtani is .148 with a .604 OPS. He hit a pair of long balls during Game 1 of the Wild Card round and has had just two hits since.
Although the Dodgers have shown how talented the are and displayed a next man up mentality, especially against the Philadelphia Phillies this past series, manger Dave Roberts recently spoke on how his team won’t win the World Series if Ohtani doesn’t get going.
