Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

Thanks, I’ll check it again....but when I looked at stats the toggle was between “position players” and “Pitchers”. When I clicked on pitchers it was just pitching stats and not batting. I tired scrolling down on the position players stats and I don’t recall seeing any pitchers batting stats.

The batting stats are shown in "pitchers" for pitchers. You just have scroll way over past the the sabrmetrics, etc

Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

You could do that with him in PYS 2015.

PYS didn't even have a decent 2 way option for Ohtani until a couple of years, so maybe we can cut SDS a little slack? At first their solution was to make 2 separate Ohtani's; a hitter version and a pitcher version, which was pretty terrible. You could have Ohtani in RF and pitching at the same time and have him come up twice in the same line up.

Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

The easiest solution would be for the makers that be allow you to see pitchers and use them in your lineups if you choose....over the years many pitchers have been used as pinch hitters...Mike Leake and Micah Owings come to mind

Yeah Bumgarter has been used as a DH last year as well when they were playing in inter league games. So why didn’t SDS see that and try and make at least DH accessible for pitchers.

Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

Not sure if its been talked about, but just switch him from pitcher to OF during his off days, then back to pitcher on his scheduled pitch days. Easier if youre controlling LAA

If you could do that, there would be no need for this thread......but you can't

Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

Has SDS even said they are entertaining fixing this??

They didn't even update the barebones replay cutscene that was already outdated a year ago (Managers haven't had to leave the dugout for over a year now). I don't see them doing anything about this until next year, if that.

He didn't DH. The Giant's chose to not use a DH in a game he was pitching so they just played without a DH that game.

And I could be wrong but I don't think there is a way to do that in the Show in a manner that turning the DH off wouldn't affect the other team either.

You’re correct on both counts.

Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

As for the workaround posted earlier to use Ohtani as a DH, if you pinch hit for the DH, you lose the DH for the rest of the game and your pitcher (the REAL pitcher that game, not Ohtani) has to hit. Not sure how this is a workaround.

Some are more active than others. I have almost as many posts as you and I’ve been here for 6 years. But I lurked here way back in 2008.

No the workaround is to pinch hit with him once the game has started (obviously not a game he's pitching in) since you can't do it from the lineup screen.

He would remain the DH for the remainder of the game so it is a workaround but you lose a bench player to accomplish it.


The only way you lose the DH is if you move the player designated as the DH to start the game into a position in the field as some point in the game.

Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

This is what I'd do to DH Ohtani without losing a bench player in the process. This is using default rosters. I would not DH him on days Matt Shoemaker starts. On days I wanted to DH Ohtani I'd send Shoemaker to AAA & replace him with 3rd catcher Juan Graterol. Graterol would be pencilled in to DH but would never actually bat. Ohtani would pinch-hit for Graterol immediately. When its time for Shoemakers turn in the rotation, swap him back for Graterol. There is no limit how many times you can swap the 2 during the season.

No, you only use 1 option a year, then that player can be shuttled back & forth during that given year as often as you want. You'll need to get your position player back down to the minors in case he's needed when Ohtani doesnt DH. And make sure your milb team doesn't use your pitcher

you can go even further into detail with a workaround but it could prove cumbersome as well as tedious.
