The Dodgers manager, Dave Roberts, has expressed confidence in Shohei Ohtani's potential for a Cy Young award following his strong spring performance. Despite a 3-0 loss to the Angels, Ohtor's performance was praised by Roberts as a Cy-Young candidate. The team is cautious about Ohtoni's workload in his return to full-time two-way duties this year, but Roberts believes he will be able to perform well as a pitcher this year.

The Dodgers clinched the best spring record among Cactus League teams with a 20-9-2 mark.
