Do you think Ohtani’s poor springs matters? Y/N

[Angels 1961]

10 ab 7 ks. In 2018 also had horrible spring.

[OhtaniSan]

Nice

[Tank]

nothing to see here.

[PattyD22]

It keeps posters from talking about Upton and Pujols.  Ohtani is a giver that way.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

send him to AAA...

[Slegnaac]

He is sandbagging ST games.

[Redondo]

I imagine he is somewhat rusty and is working on his swing.

No, I fully expect him to have worked out any kinks and be in mid season form after 10 at bats. That's more than enough of a sample size

Was it Jerry Crasnick who declared Ohtani a flop after ST in 2018?

Are you incapable of scrolling down a few pages to see if your topic has been discussed ad nauseum

Spring Training means nothing. I will worry about his struggling once the season is actually on. 

[Justin]

Worrying about Ohtani in Spring Training is baseball trading card talk mindset

[notherhalo]

didnt he really really really suck in ST during his rookie year?

This is my favorite:

"He’s basically like a high school hitter because he’s never seen a good curveball,” the scout said. “He’s seen fastballs and changeups. And you’re asking a high school hitter to jump to the major leagues?”

that's a stellar point.

Ryan Murphy- “former sports writer”.

 

Shocker.

Ohtani reminds me of another Angel. A  streaky lefty with a long swing, going to strikeout a lot but slug around .560. He going to hit 38 HRs this year but he is going to look clueless at times. He will not be known for his contact rate!

Yikes. 38 HR? If he does that, he can lead the league in Ks, hit .220, and sideswipe half a dozen cars every time he leaves the stadium and I will still be thrilled.

"Sideswpipe half a dozen cars"

Racist?
