Shohei Ohtani, currently only serving as a designated hitter due to pitching constraints, is excelling at the plate with high batting averages and impressive metrics. Despite minor injuries and off-field distractions, Ohtani's offensive performance for the Dodgers has been exceptional, potentially benefiting from the singular focus on his hitting.

Although Ohtani's recent slump in batting average is noted, his overall offensive impact on the team remains significant.
