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.\"
