Roberts: Ohtani to pitch and hit next start

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Shohei Ohtani will return to both pitching and hitting duties in his next start on Tuesday in Houston. The decision comes after Ohtani's dominant pitching performance against the Mets, where he struck out 10 batters in 6 innings while being held out of the lineup as a hitter.

Ohtani was exceptional in his last start, allowing just one run and two hits while setting a career high with 22 swing and misses against the Mets. The Dodgers are still determining the best approach for Ohtani on days he starts on the mound, with Roberts suggesting a return to the two-way approach for the next outing. albergomalica.it
