Some APBA leagues and tournaments don’t use the DH and finding a way to use Ohtani’s tasty 247 (so far) at-bats would be hard. The idea of a “DH” position might be appealing for replayers but it would still not solve the issue for APBA leagues (and tournaments). One option: If APBA chooses, they can refer to his time with the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters when he played the outfield. Why? Because in 1981, he DHed in 97 games, played first base in four games and the outfield in one game.īut Ohtani is a rookie in the MLB and hasn’t played any games anywhere other than pitcher in a U.S. He had played 157 games, all of them as a DH. I remember when I had Don Baylor on my Illowa APBA League team. Currently, there is no “DH” position in APBA. Technically, the APBA can’t add a second position because he didn’t play one. But here’s the issue when it comes to APBA… the only time Shohei Ohtani has taken the field was in the role as a pitcher.
