Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts revealed that designated hitter Shohei Ohtani wants a minimum of 50 at-bats during Spring Training to be ready for the season opener, per Dodgers Nation’s Noah Camras.
With the start of Spring Training games around the corner, Ohtani has deemed that he will need that minimum of 50 at-bats to feel ready for the Dodgers season opener.
While Ohtani will not be playing in the Dodgers’ opening Cactus League game against the San Diego Padres on Thursday, he will have plenty of opportunities to get those at-bats in over the next month.
Ohtani is already “ahead of schedule” in his return from surgery to repair a UCL tear he suffered in 2023 while with the Los Angeles Angels. In his third batting practice with the Dodgers, Ohtani hit five home runs on five swings.
