Summary

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts commented on player Shohei Ohtani’s bad habits.

Although Ohtani recorded hits in both games of the National League Division Series, he had moments of frustration when he chased after balls outside the strike zone. The manager emphasized the importance of not chasing those pitches in order to maintain a good swing, and he has also given instructions for the upcoming Game 3. There are high expectations for Ohtani’s performance moving forward.
