In the latest recap from The California Post, writers discuss how Shohei Ohtani’s unique status as a two-way player allows him to exploit a loophole in MLB’s pitch-clock rules, granting him additional warm-up time if he was at-bat or on base in the previous inning. This has drawn attention and frustration from opposing teams, notably during his recent outings against the Blue Jays and Guardians. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts acknowledges the controversy but defends the leeway given to Ohtani, emphasizing his exceptional role in the league. As the season progresses, the Dodgers will continue to leverage this advantage without apology.
