First of all, I suuuuck at online play. Some days I feel like I can make a WS run, most days I can’t hit water from a boat.
When the new Ohtani collection dropped, I was really excited and assumed he’d be and end-game card. After 11 starts I have him at 2-9 with a 9+ ERA, lol!! I’m batting .077 with him too. His splitter gets whacked and his slider has very little break. His fastball is nasty, but that’s about it.
I thought it was just me, because like I said…I suck in online games. Then I faced him in an event game. I got 5 hits with 3-HRs in the 2-innings my opponents used him. So if I can hit him, the card must suck, lol.
Also, no sinker and no ability to use him in the outfield or as a pinch hitter is a huge L, IMO. I mean, he’s not new to the league and he’s always been a 2-way player. C’mon SDS!!
Anyone else have similar experience with Ohtani??
