Shohei Ohtani played against the Giants today. He had 1 hit in 5 at-bats and struck out 2 times. Regarding Ohtani's batting performance, Robles said that today there were more bad balls chasing. I don't know if he was anxious to get hits or to get back the feeling of swinging the bat. He seemed a bit impatient.

Robles also emphasized that this is his personal opinion. Ohtani is currently working hard to make up for the gap caused by entering the 15-day injured list and spend a week to readjust and prepare for the playoffs. His situation is the same as Blake Snell.

As for Ohtani's swing in the four games since his comeback, Robles said that this has been evaluated by the hitting coaching staff. They are observing every day. According to them, his movements are exactly the same as before, but it is an indisputable fact that there are no good results. Robles also revealed Ohtani's health condition. He did not appear to be in any pain and his swing speed was the same as before.
