Dave Roberts Working With Shohei Ohtani On Plate Discipline
Dave Roberts wants to see Shohei Ohtani show more plate discipline with runners in scoring position.
The Los Angeles Dodgers manager approached Ohtani about a week ago to discuss how he could better control the strike zone.
\"I thought he was expanding a little bit more than he needed to,\" Roberts said. \"So, I just wanted to have a conversation with him.\"
Roberts has noticed Ohtani getting comfortable in his surroundings, acclimating with his new teammates and coaches.
\"He is doing a great job with everyone,\" Roberts said. \"The hitting coaches are kind of building a really good relationship and trust. I see him more [now]. Before you sort of just see him when he gets in the batter\'s box. So, he\'s around a lot more, which is a good thing, too.\"
