GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — With Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman, the Los Angeles Dodgers have quite a trio at the top of their batting order.
That's a tough start for any pitcher.
Betts and Ohtani each had three hits and Freeman drove in two runs during Sunday's spring training game against the Colorado Rockies. Betts is 7 for 17 so far this spring, and Ohtani is 5 for 7 in limited action.
Betts and Freeman are beginning their third season together in LA, and Ohtani joined the two stars when he agreed to a $700 million, 10-year contract with the Dodgers in December. Ohtani won't pitch this season while he recovers from major elbow surgery, but it sure looks as if the rest of his game is rounding into form.
