Ohtani is a unique player in that he is capable of playing both pitcher and hitter. He has been a star in Japan, where he has played for the Nippon-Ham Fighters since 2013. In 2017, he became the first player in history to hit 15 home runs and strike out 50 batters in the same season. He also won the 2016 Japan Series MVP award.
The Dodgers are hoping that Ohtani can bring his unique skill set to the team and help them make a deep playoff run. He is expected to be used as both a pitcher and hitter, and it will be interesting to see how he adjusts to the major leagues.
Ohtani will be making his debut against the San Diego Padres, and it will be interesting to see how he fares against major league hitters. He is expected to start as a designated hitter, but could also be used as a pinch hitter or pinch runner.
It is an exciting time for Dodgers fans, as they get to witness the debut of one of baseball’s most unique players. Ohtani is sure to bring a lot of excitement to Dodger Stadium on Thursday, and it will be interesting to see how he fares against major league competition.
