Shohei Ohtani News
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani has been fantastic on the mound so far in May. He's recorded a quality start in each of his three starts while pitching to a 1.42 ERA. He has tallied 23 strikeouts over the three starts while walking just four. Over seven outings on the year, Ohtani has a 34% strikeout rate, up from 29.3% last year. His 2.68 xERA ranks in the 84th percentile of the league and he's held batters to an average exit velocity of 87.2 mph, down from 88.4 mph last year. The 27-year-old phenom will make his next start on Thursday against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani turned in his third quality start of the year in Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. He pitched six innings and allowed two hits, two walks and one earned run while striking out five. He wound up with a no decision in the game. The 27-year-old phenom is now 3-2 with a 2.78 ERA, a 0.96 WHIP and a 35.4% strikeout rate on the year. His next trip to the mound will be next Tuesday in a road game against the Texas Rangers.
Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (groin) is making his return to the field in Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Ohtani was removed from this past Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox due to right groin tightness and he went on to sit out the team's series finale against the White Sox on Monday. Luckily, he's good to go for Tuesday's contest. He'll be batting third and slotting in at designated hitter for the game. The 27-year-old phenom is currently slashing .226/.280/.398 with four home runs, four stolen bases, 12 RBI and 17 runs over 23 games on the year.

The 2021 AL MVP had an unprecedented season in 2021. He lapped the field in terms of fantasy production, posting elite numbers on both sides of the ball. The result is a first-round pick for 2022. If you get his hitting and pitching production in one package, that price tag is more than justified. There are question marks if you have to split him up between two players, however. As a hitter, his .216 batting average and 29% K% over the season's final two months raises concerns. As a pitcher, 140 innings seems like a best-case scenario, which is prohibitive even if he repeats the elite 3.18 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 29% K% we saw in 2021. This is not to mention the obvious raised probability of injury given the workload he takes on. Ohtani the hitter gets a significant boost in OBP leagues with his 12.3% walk rate in 2021, and the value as a pitcher is heightened in leagues with strikeout rates rather than raw totals. If you get all of his stats with one draft pick, the value and upside easily trump the risk, and he is the clear number one overall pick in daily changes leagues. However, if your league splits Ohtani up, he is likely too expensive.
