Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ohtani's improbable 2023 season was sad on many fronts. Despite a second 40-20 season in three years along with his pitching prowess, he was not afforded the chance to play October baseball with his team breaking down as well as his right elbow for a second time in five years. Ohtani ended up having his elbow surgery in late September which rules him out for pitching in 2024. If he were to follow the Bryce Harper recovery timeline from a similar procedure, there is a decent chance Ohtani could still be ready for Opening Day. That said, it would be unfair to expect even this unique player to be 100% himself given what we just saw from Harper this past season as he attempted to regain his power stroke. Ohtani signed a unique 10-year pact with the Dodgers, guaranteeing himself an excellent home park for lefty power and superb teammates at the top of the lineup. Read Past Outlooks
Belts 15th homer
Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 10-6 loss to the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
Ohtani plated Mookie Betts in the second inning on a 415-foot homer off Paul Skenes. While Ohtani isn't quite hitting with the power he did a season ago, he owns a .322 batting average -- which would be a career-best if it stands. The 29-year-old is one of nine players with 15 long balls this season and he's also tied for the ninth most stolen bases in MLB at 14.

Stat Review
How does Shohei Ohtani compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May play field at some point in '24
Manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Ohtani will begin his throwing progression next week when the Dodgers return stateside following their season-opening two-game series with the Padres in South Korea, and the two-time American League MVP could be a candidate to play the field at some point in 2024 depending on how the progression goes, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Roberts reiterated that Ohtani won't be available to pitch at any point in 2024 while he completes his recovery from the second Tommy John surgery of his career, but the Dodgers aren't yet discounting the possibility of the two-way superstar making some defensive contributions this season. Ohtani will be deployed exclusively as a designated hitter to begin the season and will likely end up seeing the bulk of his starts in 2024 in a non-defensive role, though he might be an option in the corner outfield or at first base a few months down the road if he's able to do long tossing without issue. During his six-year run with the Angels, Ohtani logged just one inning in left field and 7.1 innings in right field, with all of that work coming in 2021.

2015
Last year's player outlook said we had never seen anything like Ohtani's 2021 season. He did not quite have a repeat of his monster season at the plate in 2022, but he more than made up for that with his best season yet on the mound. Any other year, his 2022 season would be worthy of a unanimous MVP award, but Ohtani's season toiled both in the obscurity of the secondary team in the Los Angeles market while also in the large shadow of Aaron Judge's historic season. The only frustrating issue with Ohtani is if you're in a league in which you must declare how you will use him each week, because that format mostly renders his pitching talents null and void unless you're staring at several suboptimal matchups in a five-game week for Ohtani. The DH-only label slightly impacts his draft day value, as standard format leagues must then adjust downstream for losing the in-draft flexibility of the UT spot.
