He hits his 27th and 28 today at the Bronx. This is like a video game :mg:
So, I guess it is better he's in the AL because he can DH when he's not pitching, but in the NL, I suppose he'd play first or left when he was not on the mound.  I think Maddon gives up the DH when Ohtani is pitching.

I'd be really interested in seeing what the Mets would do with DeGrom if there were a DH. In an odd way, the exceptionally hitting pitchers benefit from a DH if they can DH when they are not ptiching. It's incredibly rare, but Micah Owings I think about 10 years ago probably could have DH'd.
