Why doesn't the game allow your 2 way player bat on the days you pitch?

In real life, Shohei Ohtani bats on his pitching days and stays in the game as the DH when he's subbed off the mound!

Because the game came out before the ohtani rule was written

Hi MLB THE SHOW Team!

Agreed on the above. Can you please fix? This is an unfortunate flaw that should be easy to amend.
Two way players should also be able to participate in the HR derby. I lead the league in HRs but not able to participate.
Would appreciate this greatly! Thanks,

Recoding a system is not as easy as it seems. The Ohtani rule wasn't in place when the game was finished. I don't like it either, but it's low on the priority list. Fixing server issues and making sure everything is working properly is a constant job. If it's not there next year, then it's time to complain.
