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)

Shoehi Ohtani’s debut wasn’t perfect, but it also could have gone a lot worse. After not pitching in nearly two years, the Japanese right-hander clearly showed signs of rust and lack of command in his first big league action of the season.

Shohei Ohtani will make his Dodgers pitching debut Monday night against the Padres, sending ticket prices soaring.
