As his pitching comeback progresses and ramps up over the summer months, it might take time, energy and focus away from his hitting exploits. Sure, Ohtani has upended expectations and silenced doubters before, but there’s a reason Los Angeles is being supremely careful with its superstar. Concerns about how his body will react to such a large toll are legitimate, even if Ohtani has overcome such obstacles before.
It’s possible, then, that Ohtani could begin to pull back on his baserunning aggressiveness as a return to the rotation approaches. Any home run decrease, however, would obviously be more of a side effect than a strategy.
