Dave Roberts wants to see Shohei Ohtani show more plate discipline with runners in scoring position.

The Los Angeles Dodgers manager approached Ohtani about a week ago to discuss how he could better control the strike zone.

"I thought he was expanding a little bit more than he needed to," Roberts said. "So, I just wanted to have a conversation with him."

Roberts has noticed Ohtani getting comfortable in his surroundings, acclimating with his new teammates and coaches.

"He is doing a great job with everyone," Roberts said. "The hitting coaches are kind of building a really good relationship and trust. I see him more [now]. Before you sort of just see him when he gets in the batter's box. So, he's around a lot more, which is a good thing, too."
