[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] The defending Dodgers will face the Brewers, who have the best record this season, in the National League Championship Series and continue to move towards the goal of three consecutive championships. However, the hitting situation of superstar Shohei Ohtani is worrying, and head coach Dave Roberts hopes that he can solve the problem quickly.

In the National League Division Series this year, Shohei Ohtani had only 2 hits in 13 at-bats in 4 games, without any slugging or RBI. His batting average was a miserable 0.154, completely flat. He has not had a home run in 22 consecutive games and 102 at-bats, and has fallen into a serious home run drought.

Ohtani's performance may be affected by the injury. Recently, he has been chasing bad balls and his bats are obviously more active than before. This is not his usual hitting style. Robles hopes that he can improve this problem as soon as possible. He said: "Ohtani can do better in pitch selection and should focus more on the strike zone. When you keep hitting balls outside the strike zone, it is difficult to achieve good results."

Ohtani's performance affects the direction of the Dodgers' game, and the team's batting performance is not much better. The team's batting average against the Warriors was only 0.203. The top pitching force is enough to lead the team far in the playoffs, but if the offensive line cannot provide enough firepower, the team's room for error will become very limited, especially when the most important star in the team is in a slump.

Robles believes that Shohei Ohtani's home runs and long hits on the field are his most distinctive features in the strike zone. He is very clear about what the outside world is discussing and what he has not done yet.
