Ohtani Breaks Out, Leads NL in OBP

Shohei Ohtani appears to have overcome his early season struggles, delivering a stellar performance with both bat and ball in the Dodgers' 7-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

Shohei Ohtani has silenced his critics with a remarkable performance against the Diamondbacks. After struggling earlier in the season, the two-way star went 3-for-4 with a pair of walks and a run while also pitching six shutout innings with just two hits and one walk allowed. His .420 on-base percentage currently leads the National League.

Ohtani's batting line of .301/.420/.521 gives him a 165 OPS+, better than all but one of his six seasons with the Angels. With 61 innings pitched, he's just one outing away from qualifying for the ERA title, where he could potentially lead the NL with a sub-1.00 ERA while maintaining his league-leading on-base percentage. sos-zagle.org.pl
