Not sure how much of this matters now, but Shohei Ohtani's numbers as a leadoff hitter when pitching weren't great. It's only 45 plate appearances, spread between 2021 and 2023, but he slashed .179/.289/.385. The numbers were much better at the 2/3 spots. (h/t @MattBirch12)

Shohei Ohtani makes his grand return to the pitching mound on Monday night, as the Los Angeles Dodgers open a four game-series with the San Diego Padres.

After enduring a 10-game stretch without a home run dating back to June 2, Shohei Ohtani ended the long ball drought in a big way, belting two round-trippers in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 11-5 win over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night. But getting back into the home run column is far from the only thing Ohtani achieved in Los Angeles's win.
