In a meeting with the media on Monday, Shohei Ohtani said he is focused on improving his game, and even shed light on a secret hitting drill.
There's a sideshow at every ballpark Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers visit, with the two-time MVP and two-continent superstar playing on a $700 million contract and under investigation by Major League Baseball for his former interpreter's alleged involvement in illegal gambling. True to his determined approach and private nature, Ohtani still seems to be settling in. 'Regardless of whatever happens off the field, my ability to continue to play baseball hasn't changed.
Ohtani did let the public in on one secret: He's been using a cricket-style bat behind the scenes to help his hitting mechanics. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who has encouraged Ohtani to strengthen his relationship with his teammates without Mizuhara in the picture, said the unique equipment looks like a cricket paddle and has a handle like a baseball bat.
