After only three pitching starts and 14 plate appearances, all under conditions that don't count, the speculation is as rabid as the expectation that daily dogs Shohei Ohtani.
He should shorten his swing. He should abandon hitting altogether. He should be more pitch efficient. He should open the season in the minors.
Trying to do something never accomplished in the modern era of baseball, Ohtani to date has been given more grief publicly than time.
Ohtani and the Angels are discovering that the outside world isn't terribly interested in giving breaks to phenoms, at least not international ones attempting to regularly pitch and bat in the big leagues.
