▶ How well will you do this year?
Ohtani’s two-time double career took a step further last year. While filling his regular innings as a pitcher, he even made people feel that he had exceeded the limits of his body while demonstrating offensive power comparable to that of 2021. He picked up the pace earlier than usual this year in preparation for the WBC, but expectations are raised that he will be able to spend a season healthy as he has experience last year.
Other than this feeling, what is the expected score based on statistics? There are various performance prediction systems in the major leagues. There are different methods for drawing estimates, but all prediction systems have concluded that Ohtani will be an All-Star on both sides of the pitch this year.
US fangraph.com discloses the expected performance of all 7 prediction systems in the batter category. Here, it was predicted that Ohtani could raise 3.5 to 4.5 WAR (contribution to victory over substitute players) as a hitter. The BAT X predicted 4.5 and Steamer predicted 3.4. Looking at past cases, 2021, when he challenged the home run king, was 5.0, and last year was 3.8.
