Shohei Ohtani Mired in Extended Slump, Goes 0-for-5 in Loss to Giants

Shohei Ohtani‘s offensive skid is getting harder to ignore. He went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in Monday’s 9-3 loss to the Giants, stretching his hitless streak to nine consecutive at-bats. Over his last 10 games, he’s hitting .105 (4-for-38), per Dodger Blue staff reporting — and by all accounts, he’s pressing at the plate, trying to muscle his way out of it rather than letting the hits come. That approach rarely fixes anything. I’m not panicking on Ohtani (and you shouldn’t either), but this is a slump that needs to break soon because our lineup can’t afford to have its best hitter spinning his wheels like this.
