Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani has struggled during the postseason, and one MLB insider believes that it will take a while before he breaks out of his slump.

Through seven playoff games, Ohtani is 4-for-29 with six walks, two home runs and five RBIs. He is slashing .138/.286/.345 in the postseason, far from his regular season numbers of .282/.392/.622.
Ohtani went 0-for-2 with three walks in NLCS Game 1, getting on base well, but still unable to get his bat going.
ESPN’s David Schoenfield predicts it could be a long series for Ohtani and it may take until the World Series for him to breakout — if the Dodgers get there.
