Dodgers So Desperate For Starting Pitching They Turn To DH | Defector
Briefly

Shohei Ohtani is thriving as a designated hitter for the Los Angeles Dodgers, having won the MVP last year. Currently, he ranks among the top offensive players in MLB, outperforming others with an impressive home run tally. This weekend, he demonstrated his prowess by hitting a notable home run against the New York Mets, followed by another lead-off home run against the Cleveland Guardians, showcasing not just power but speed and agility that surpass typical power hitters. Meanwhile, the Dodgers' rotation struggles with injuries, underscoring the challenges in their pitching staff.
"Ohtani currently has both of them, as well as every other player in MLB, beat on home run tally."
"Ohtani’s lead-off hitting this weekend... is Kyle Schwarber-esque. The caveat is that Ohtani is what you would get if Schwarber had wheels, along with various other assets."
