[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] Dodger Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani has not had a long hit or RBI in this year's playoffs so far, and his batting average is only 0.150, continuing to fall into a slump. However, today he still served as the starting designated hitter in G3 of the National League Championship Series. Regarding Ohtani's downturn, Dodger big man Josue De Paula believes that he will definitely be able to get his touch back.
DePaola was directly promoted from Double-A to the major leagues when Ohtani was on the disabled list in September. In 11 games, he had 10 hits in 31 at-bats, a batting average of .323, a home run, 7 RBIs, and 11 walks. After Ohtani returned from injury, DePaola returned to the minor leagues, but still managed to squeeze into the Dodgers' playoff roster. So far this year's playoffs, he has played 3 games as a substitute and picked out 2 walks, showing his excellent pitch selection.

It was reported the day before yesterday that the Dodgers intend to bench Ohtani, and DePaola is the starting designated hitter to replace Ohtani, but Ohtani himself is determined to stay in the starting lineup. In an interview before today's game, DePaola asserted: "If you play baseball for long enough, you will encounter all kinds of things. Shohei is a very good player and may find his form at any time. So we must not underestimate him. We also look forward to him performing well again and receiving warm cheers from the fans in the audience."
DePaola also emphasized again that he is not worried about Ohtani's current situation at all. "Shohei is a very, very good player, and I believe he will definitely get back to his form. This is baseball. This kind of thing will happen. In fact, it happens almost every day. At any moment, you don't know what will happen next. What I want to say is that Shohei will definitely get his form back."
