Shohei Ohtani can't see a way out of his slump, and we can see a glimpse of his desperation in making unusual adjustments MLB

Was he trying to find a clue to demodulation? Before the game, Dodgers' Otani, who usually takes batting practice indoors, worked hard on free batting outdoors. This is a first for this postseason. There was a glimpse of desperation in the unusual adjustment.

Dodgers lose first game, Shohei Ohtani has 1 hit in 3 at bats - MLB

His matchup with the strong-armed Miziolowski drew attention, and in the second inning, he walked on base and hit home for the lead. In the sixth inning, after his opponent pitched a second pitch, he sent a slider to the left field, but overall he missed the ball a lot. It is hard to say that it has returned to its original form.

Last year's league championship series, which featured the same team, had a legendary performance. He participated in Game 4 as a two-way pitcher and was the winning pitcher, and hit three home runs as a batter. This year has changed dramatically, and the days have been frustrating. It can't end like this.

His last home run was on August 18th. Manager Roberts said, ``He's going to pick his walks well, get a lot of high-quality at-bats, and get some hits. That's where he starts.'' The Dodgers lost the important first game due to their opponents playing precise baseball. We are waiting for Otani to wake up in order to make a comeback.
