[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] The Dodgers will usher in G1 of the National League Championship Series tomorrow. Head coach Dave Roberts talked about Shohei Ohtani, who is in a slump, and hopes that he can make good ball selections and deliver high-quality at-bats.

Shohei Ohtani felt sluggish in the divisional competition. He had a total of 13 at-bats and 2 hits in 4 games. He had no long hits or RBIs, 4 strikeouts, hitting measurements of .154/.267/.154, and an attack index of 0.421.

Although Ohtani is in poor condition, Robles still has deep confidence in him, saying: "He is enough to pose a threat just by standing in the batter's box." Robles also mentioned that Ohtani's incredible performance in the National League Championship Game last year has been deeply imprinted in the minds of Brewers pitchers.

Robles pointed out that he hopes Ohtani will make good pitches tomorrow, try to get on base, and aim to deliver high-quality at-bats. "Everyone knows that Ohtani has the ability to hit long balls, but when facing Jacob Misiorowski, all he can do is try to play high-quality at-bats. If he can hit a home run, that would be great, but even a walk would be great."

The Dodgers previously moved Ohtani out of the early at-bats in the divisional round. As for which at-bat he will play tomorrow, Robles said: "It hasn't been decided yet. I will think about it carefully today."
