His swing is feeling better.

Unfortunately for the rest of the National League, the man is still operating on a body that apparently has a “check engine” light permanently flashing.

Ohtani admitted Friday that his left knee and right biceps are still bothering him heading into Saturday’s NLDS showdown against the Atlanta Braves.

And his response?

Basically: “Yeah, I’m hurt. Anyway… put me in the lineup.”

That’s Shohei Ohtani for you.

Most humans get a sore knee and start looking for the couch.

Ohtani gets a sore knee, a sore biceps and somehow starts hitting baseballs off the scoreboard.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts admitted Ohtani isn’t 100%, but made it clear he will be in the lineup.

“Shohei’s not 100%, but he’s going to be in the lineup,” Roberts said.

And honestly, that might be the most terrifying sentence Braves fans have heard all week.

Because apparently 100% Shohei is optional.

Ohtani spent much of the summer dealing with the injuries before finally landing on the injured list in September. During one ugly 14-game stretch, he managed only seven hits while striking out 22 times.

For normal players, that might be a sign to slow things down.

For Ohtani, it apparently meant, “Let me disappear for a couple weeks and come back angry.”

And he did.

During his time on the injured list, Ohtani focused almost exclusively on hitting after realizing he wasn’t going to pitch again this season.

That gave him time to work on his swing, study what he wanted to change and figure out how to attack the postseason.

And judging by what the Dodgers have seen over the last few days, something clicked.

Ohtani took batting practice Tuesday and Wednesday — something that’s unusual for him — and Dodgers hitting coach Aaron Bates called those sessions among the best they’ve seen from him all season.

Then Bates dropped the line that should probably have the Braves’ pitching staff checking their life insurance policies.

Ohtani hit a couple balls off the scoreboard.

That’s right.

The guy has a bad knee, a bad biceps and hasn’t looked completely comfortable at the plate.

And he’s still sending baseballs into another ZIP code.

Ohtani also faced Yoshinobu Yamamoto in a simulated game, worked inside Thursday and took more outdoor batting practice Friday.

Then he stepped in against Emmet Sheehan.

First at-bat?

Strikeout.

Second at-bat?

Line drive to right field.

Because apparently even when Shohei Ohtani looks rusty, he still has enough in the tank to remind everybody that baseball is completely unfair.

Ohtani finished the regular season hitting .275 with 30 home runs, 11 stolen bases and a .377 on-base percentage.

Oh, and just in case you forgot the guy can pitch too, he went 8-2 with a 1.79 ERA in 14 starts before his pitching season ended in July.

No big deal.

He’s also likely to finish near the top of the NL MVP race.

But here’s the problem: Ohtani knows he isn’t completely right.

He admitted he still needs to make some “little tweaks here and there” with his swing before Game 1.

That’s probably bad news for everybody else.

Because if Shohei is saying, “I’m just making a few tweaks,” I don’t want to know what happens when he says, “Okay, now I’m comfortable.”

The Dodgers don’t need Ohtani to be Superman.

They just need him to be healthy enough to stay in the lineup and dangerous enough to change a game with one swing.

And that’s where this gets really interesting.

Ohtani isn’t entering October at 100%.

Neither is Freddie Freeman.

Roberts basically admitted that plenty of players around the league are playing through something.

That’s October baseball.

Everybody is hurt.

Everybody is exhausted.

Everybody is pretending they’re fine.

And then somebody hits a baseball 450 feet and suddenly nobody remembers who had the bad knee.

That’s what the Dodgers are hoping happens with Ohtani.

Because if his swing really is getting back to where it needs to be, the Braves have a problem.

A BIG problem.

Ohtani doesn’t need 100 at-bats to get comfortable.

He doesn’t need three weeks to find his timing.

He just needs one pitch.

One mistake.

One hanging slider.

One fastball that doesn’t quite make it to the corner.

And BOOM.

There goes the baseball.

There goes the inning.

And possibly there goes your postseason.

So here we go.

Shohei Ohtani isn’t healthy.

His knee hurts.

His biceps hurts.

His swing still needs some adjusting.

And he’s heading into October baseball anyway.

Because apparently being completely healthy is for everybody else.

Welcome to the postseason, Shohei.

Now let’s see if the Braves can survive the man who is running on approximately 80% body, 100% confidence and 200% baseball insanity.
