Shohei Ohtani Critical Of Team's Season Performance
2 years agoLos Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani said Tuesday that he was pleased with his personal success in 2022 but had, "a rather negative impression of this season," from a team perspective, per AP News' Koji Ueda. His sentiment is warranted, as the Angels endured a seventh consecutive losing season and missed the playoffs for an eighth consecutive season. Ohtani himself was a fantasy stud once again, compiling a 15-9 record with a 2.33 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and 33.2% strikeout rate in 28 starts while also posting a .273/.356/.519 slash line with 34 home runs, 95 RBI, and 11 stolen bases. Ohtani has one year left on his contract with the Angels, and they will clearly need to add more support besides himself and outfielder Mike Trout if they hope to be more competitive in 2023.
