Two-way star Shohei Ohtani would never bench himself, but the Angels relied on him to say when he needed a break and that may have ruined his arm.
Shohei Ohtani believes the Angels need him too much to take days off. The Angels don’t disagree and are trusting him to manage his fatigue.The fact that he scaled the mound on Wednesday, a week after his skipped start in Texas, pointed to his disregard for the record contract that awaited him in the winter.
Even if they had, the terms of their relationship with Ohtani were already established. He told them what he wanted to do, and they went along. He wanted to play every day, so he did. He wanted to pitch on Wednesday, so he did. He insisted on hitting in the second game of the doubleheader, so he did. And if he wants to be the Angels’ designated hitter for the remainder of the season, as he did when he previously tore his UCL in 2018, he will.
