The dodgers are not lacking in starting launchers.
We will obviously see how the season will take place, but the additions of Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki, which is starting to take their ease in North America, help the club.
But compared to 2024, the addition that could make the most difference rendered in series is possibly Shohei Ohtani.
According to people in the world, even if the club has excellent launchers on hand, the most talented artilleryman of the organization of the could indeed be Shohei Ohtani.
In his last full season as a launcher, in 2022, he had finished fourth in the race for Cy Young in Anaheim. And in 2023, it was to him that the Japanese gave the ball to remove Mike Trout in ninth round of the final of the world baseball classic.
All that to say that the Dodgers would like to have Ohtani, who has not launched since the end of the 2023 season, in series on the mound. But for that, the main interested party must recover from his operation at the elbow.
Dodgers, what you need to know, have the luxury of taking their time. They do not need to hurry to bring it back to the mound because it breaks just as a hitter and because the rotation is full.
The goal? Currently, it is to ensure that the Japanese is ready for the series. This is what Ken Rosenthal said.
In Los Angeles, we want to take our time so that the launcher does not launch too many sleeves, but that he is able to launch them at the right time of the season (towards the end) and that he is in full possession of his means rendered in series.
It is a luxury that Californian training can afford – and with reason – and everything indicates that the launcher will follow the match plan to help his club when it really counts: in October. He tasted victory and he is still hungry, him …
