Ohtani's Slump Over, Dominates on Mound

After a period of rest to address what appeared to be fatigue or a need to reset his approach, Shohei Ohtani has returned to form. The Dodgers star went 3-for-4 with two walks and a run in Wednesday's 7-0 victory over the Diamondbacks, while also pitching six shutout innings with two hits and one walk allowed against six strikeouts.

Ohtani's .420 on-base percentage currently leads the National League, and with a 1.48 ERA, he's on the verge of qualifying for ERA leadership as well. His OPS+ of 165 is better than all but one of his six seasons with the Angels, marking a significant turnaround after a period where his power wasn't quite there. orlando-books.blog
