In the absence of Mookie Betts, the Dodgers have put Shohei Ohtani in the leadoff spot. Was it the right thing to do?
Hi, and welcome to another edition of Dodgers Dugout. My name is Houston Mitchell, and it's way too hot out. Good thing there's all those fans in the stadium to keep us cool. When Mookie Betts broke his hand, the Dodgers had to decide who should be the new leadoff hitter. They decided Shohei Ohtani would get the job, which was a bit puzzling at first, because you don't often see your best power hitter batting leadoff. They have averaged 6.
Mookie Betts, for example, prefers to bat leadoff, and he has hit better from the leadoff spot than from any other position in the batting order throughout his career. As longtime readers of this newsletter know, I love stats. The more information we can learn statistically, the more we can understand what a player brings to the table and how he compares to other players. But analytics are great if you are running a computer team.
