Ohtani 2 way player not working

Re: Ohtani 2 way player not working

Can’t for the life of me understand why they don’t just make it possible to put guys like Ohtani in both the lineup screen and the rotation screen at roster setup. Problem solved.

I agree. OOTP does this, so why can’t SDS?

Re: Ohtani 2 way player not working

This is working for you? I tried this but when he is selected to pitch he still isn’t available to DH.

My mistake; he can hit on days he’s not pitching, but cannot hit and pitch the same day. I’m not sure what the workaround is, really, since even if he’s your number 1 starter you can still have him in the lineup on days he doesn’t pitch.

He can hit and pitch, and someone responding to me above just confirmed it. I've been doing it in '21 the whole year. This is how you do it.


Put Noah in the lineup where you want Ohtani to hit. Swap positions with anyone, let's say Trout. So now Trout is your DH and Noah is your CF. When your team is in the field, swap Trout back to CF. The game will tell you that you're giving up your DH for the game and instead your pitcher will hit. When you confirm, Noah is subbed out for the game, Trout is in CF, and Ohtani hits where Noah was.


Sucks he can't pitch and DH, but in the meantime that's the workaround. If you're the home team, put Noah wherever you want Ohtani in the lineup. If you're the away team, I always put the pitcher 9th just in case I have a great inning. Then by the time that spot comes up the swap has already happened, and the pitcher I was using just to sub out the spot doesn't end up getting an AB (unless you bat around the order)

Re: Ohtani 2 way player not working

I was completely wrong about Ohtani he doesn’t count as a pitcher so the game lets the angels have 14 pitchers. He just shows as a OF on the lineup screen that’s the trick

Re: Ohtani 2 way player not working

I’m just gonna use Ohtani the way the Angels originally did, and have him not hit on days he pitches (have to anyway). So he can rest as my SP, but still DH here and there.

Well if you go this route you’ll probably only get like 300 AB’s out of him. That’s a lot of lost production from one of the best players in the game

I know, but honestly doing it the other way with subbing him in for the SP as DH and all that mess is just too much for me to want to do. Plus he’s not two individual people, so his stamina is gonna suffer regardless. Until they either patch it (or code it next year, hopefully) his stamina is gonna be shot if he hits most days and pitches every 5th or 6th day.

Re: Ohtani 2 way player not working

Are you manually doing it as a 6 man rotation like the Angels actually do in real life though? that gives the extra day rest, it is a pain to do to keep shuffling your rotation down a spot

the trick is when it is day 6 skip the 1 slot and move everyone down.. problem here is that Ohtani only works in the lineup in the 2 slot didn't someone say?

This is what is going to happen unless you are playing with the Angels though, right? The CPU is only going to have him hit at most 4 out of 5 games?

Yes it is because you can't do 6 man rotations otherwise he could have more at bats. and less Starts pitching. So you would have to do it manually to spoonfeed the CPU. and the only way is to after every 5 days simmed. when you get to the 1 slot. move the pitcher from the BP to 1 slot and slider Noah to 2nd then move everyone down one. every 5 days do the same thing again. only the 2nd slot is now where you slide your BP guy.

It's a pain. but with no 6 man rotation options you have to do it that way as far as the CPU goes.. for user use. you just skip Noah start use the BP starter (Barria for example) then move Noah down to slot 2 for the next start/

Re: Ohtani 2 way player not working

Niner, can you explain the six man rotation so I can give Ohtani an extra day? I’m using the Angels my team in franchise. If I use him as number one starter, then continue with Thor, Sandoval, Lorenzen, Canning, and have Barria pitch the sixth day, that should work - right?

Yep so what you do is on the 6th day skip Noah start and use Barria (sitting in the BP) then the next day move Noah to 2nd slot Ohtani to 3rd slot etc (move everyone down 1)

Do exactly the same thing the next time when you get up to Noah start only this time is is slot 2
