Can you hit with Ohtani?
-
Is it possible in online co-op 2v2 and 3v3 to hit with Shohei Ohtani? (Live series card with SP primary RF secondary)
If it’s possible, How do you do it? I want to hit and pitch with him at the same time, or if that’s not possible then just put him in RF and hit.
I have been able to use him as a starting pitcher where he pitches only and a different DH is hitting for him, like normal for any other pitcher.

Any answer?

No. Not enough stubs.

It is possible. It is not ideal. The steps are:
- select Ohtani as a starting pitcher option in the pre-game co-op selection screen
- insert Ohtani in the game as a pitcher (if he was not selected as the starter)
- in the in-game substitution menu, while pitching, move your DH to another position (e.g., move your DH to 1B)
- the game will prompt you that doing so will forfeit the DH position and your pitcher will hit. Click "accept"
- now, your DH is in the field and maintains his spot in the batting order; however, your 1B is removed from the batting order and replaced by your current pitcher - Shohei Ohtani
These steps suck. This whole thing sucks. Last year we had to go through this to get Babe, the overall collection reward, to bat and this year we have to do it with Ohtani, the best player on the planet. It is lame
The "Ohtani Rule" literally exists now in MLB. We should get an option, after being told who our SP is, if we want the pitcher to begin the game as the DH and continue as the DH even after they are removed

Co op needs some attention. It’s had this format since the beginning picking 6 position players and trying to get a lineup set is just a pain. Not being able to use who you want or use captain boost is missing from coop. It’s really frustrating this year because the bench is all lefties mostly and if you bring a few you will have 5 or 6in your lineup.

@soonermagic78_XBL Agreed. I think being able to contribute the full team, or - as an intermediate solution - being able to pick the specific 84s you add (3 position players + bench bats) is a much needed change

Was just frustrated about this last night… save up 400k stubs to get Ohtani and can’t even hit with him in co-op. Please fix.
