MLB insider argues why Shohei Ohtani should embrace a full starter role for Dodgers and pitch deeper into games

Shohei Ohtani, the Japanese superstar known for his dual abilities as a pitcher and hitter, has made a highly anticipated return to the mound this season for the Los Angeles Dodgers. After undergoing Tommy John Surgery in 2023, Ohtani has been limited to the role of a designated hitter in his first season with the Dodgers. However, this year he has finally been given the opportunity to showcase his pitching skills once again.

In his limited role as an “opener,” Ohtani has excelled with a 1.50 ERA in the first few innings of games. Many believe that this role suits him well, as it allows him to keep opposing teams scoreless at the start of games before focusing on his hitting for the rest of the game.

Despite his success in this role, there are calls for Ohtani to pitch longer into games. Insider Jon Heyman has expressed his desire to see Ohtani pitch more innings, citing his previous successful seasons where he pitched over 130 innings and still performed exceptionally well at the plate.

On the other hand, former big leaguer Ryan Spilborghs has raised concerns about the potential risks of overusing Ohtani as a pitcher. With Ohtani currently leading the National League in home runs and maintaining an impressive offensive performance, Spilborghs questions whether the added workload on Ohtani’s arm is worth the risk of potential injury, such as a soft tissue injury like an oblique.

With Ohtani’s offensive contributions being crucial to the Dodgers’ success, the debate continues on how best to utilize his talents on the mound without compromising his performance at the plate. Fans will be looking to manager Dave Roberts and the coaching staff to devise a plan that maximizes Ohtani’s impact while ensuring his long-term health and effectiveness.

As Ohtani continues to dazzle on both sides of the ball, the Dodgers will need to carefully balance his pitching workload to ensure he remains a key contributor throughout the season. With his exceptional talent and versatility, Ohtani is undoubtedly a player to watch as the Dodgers make their push for postseason success.
