Shohei Ohtani Batting Second
7 years agoLos Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani is batting second on Tuesday. With Zack Cozart getting a day off, Mike Trout slides up to the leadoff spot with Ohtani also moving up. This is the highest Ohtani has been in the order despite his excellent .348/.392/.652 slash line and five home runs. With Cozart's on-base percentage sitting at .299, it's certainly possible that Ohtani will hit second more often when he's in the lineup. This is a change to keep an eye on.
