A while ago, I wrote about the way that the Phillies approached Shohei Ohtani in their series in Philadelphia. I find those kinds of matchups one of the more fascinating things about baseball as it gets us down to a more granular level of analysis. While we aren’t privy to the kinds of scouting reports that circulate through the team meetings prior to a series, when one goes through a matchup after the fact, it makes the game that much more interesting. How does a team go about preparing for one of the best hitters on the planet?
