How do pitchers get to learn to bat. I'm guessing that anyone who makes it to the top knows which end to grasp, but most, if not all, will step out into NL ballparks having grown through the minors where it's DHing all the way. Is it just accepted they'll be a bit rubbish so tactics are adjusted accordingly and as they'll get so few at bats over the course of the season there's no real incentive to improve that aspect of their game. Any hit or run a bonus?
I'm guessing Shohei Ohtani is a real outlier.
