Update: Ohtani just threw 7 scoreless with 8 K's. The arm is fine. The fact that elite pitching coexists with the bat slump remains the most telling clue of all. It's not the shoulder generally — it's the rotational load specifically.

@ShotimeLAD Makes sense based on the thread I posted 💡

"Shohei is not going to hit tomorrow" 😒

@BosCardHunter Please expose this awful company for their insider bullshit

I need an hour or two to make the video but I will air it tonight

@BlakeHHarris Check my latest tweet for reasoning behind slump 🤯

Shohei is going through it right now

2021から2025までの5年間ほぼ毎日楽しませてくれたんだから地の底まで落ちても応援するからな。

@YahooNewsTopics See my last tweet about why Ohtani is in his slump

@senkyugannn Look at my last post

ガチ悔しそうで胸痛えよ。

This is a really sharp point that strengthens the theory imo. Ohtani is the best at in-AB micro-adjustments. The fact that he can't self-correct after 4 weeks is itself a tell — when your usual fix doesn't work, something physical is likely preventing the fix. Pure mechanical issues he beats in a series, not in a month.

Good thread on Ohtani, this seems to be the most obvious thing as what made ohtani successful is his adjustments mechanically even within ABs, so I don't think it's mechanics tbh

Dating back to April 28, Shohei Ohtani is just 4-for-33 (.121) with three singles and a double.

@CodifyBaseball See my last tweet

Shohei Ohtani has hit 1 home run in his last 106 plate appearances.

@IppeiBets The team’s actions tell the story their words don’t. Three rest days from hitting in two weeks for a guy who never sits. On-field BP three times. Cupped bat experimentation. This is injury management dressed up as “fatigue.”

Surprised there’s been such little chatter from reporters and the Dodgers as a whole on this.

Sooo we’re just not gonna talk about this? 😭😭

This is without question the worst Shohei Ohtani has looked at the plate as a Dodger, and maybe the worst since coming over from Japan. He looks lost and confused with the bat.

8/ Caveats, because intellectual honesty matters: This is correlation, not confirmed causation. Slumps happen. Workload from full-time pitching is real. Mechanical drift exists. But the date is too clean to ignore. Shoutout to h/t @usakichi1234 for catching onto this. The slump has a date. April 13th. 🎯

7/ The timeline. April 13 + 4-6 weeks = mid-to-late May. If it's deeper (strain, dyskinesis), it could push into June. Watch for these tells: • Sudden exit velocity jump • A multi-HR game (he's overdue) • Roberts saying "he looks more like himself" • The cupped bat disappearing If those start happening, the HBP theory wins.

The Shohei Ohtani slump has a smoking gun and nobody's pointing at it. On April 13, @_David_Peterson hit him with a 94 mph sinker on the back of his right shoulder. Same side as his swing rotation engine. The splits are insane: Pre-HBP: .321/.446/.642, 5 HR / 13 G Post-HBP: .193/.305/.284, 1 HR / 27 G A thread on what it could be 🧵
