Despite mountains of evidence that Shohei Ohtani can hit with the best hitters in Major League Baseball, and pitch with the game's best pitchers, many have expected the Dodgers star to concentrate exclusively on one or the other at some point in his career.
Ohtani is obviously one of the best offensive players in the league. He won MVP last season, deservedly so, while serving only as a designated hitter. That's how valuable he is on offense. And the thought process behind him being so far ahead in MVP discussions this season is that he's taking that offensive value and adding back the pitching side.

The Dodgers will open up the second half of the season on Friday night against the Milwaukee Brewers as they look to win the National League West yet again.

After he was hit, Ohtani waved off his dugout, telling them not to enter the field and confront the Padres.
