Ohtani contemplating Home Run Derby amid record-breaking RBI streak with Dodgers

Dodgers made a good deal signing him!

Last time he was in the home run derby it really screwed up his swing and he was in a home run drought for a long time after that.

i’d love to see him in the derby, but I’d rather see him do well throughout the year

He should like totally enter the derby. No doubt he'd win easily. To make it more memorable, he should forgo wearing a helmet and wear a derby hat. Whatever headwear he dons, he'll end the day wearing a crown.

Maybe, but only because Aaron Judge is not in it. Facts.

Is Ohtani more valuable as strictly a designated hitter, or more valuable when he pitches and hits in the same game?

I only ask because he's having his best season as a hitter in MLB this year. Maybe there are other reasons, such as the team and other good hitters in the Dodgers batting lineup.
