How then would the DH position be represented in the line up or on the field? A DH can't take the field without losing the place in the batting order. So, if Ohtani is the DH and takes the field as the pitcher, who hits for the DH?
Under the normal rule, if a DH replaces the 2nd baseman, for example, the pitcher has to hit in the DH's place. How does that work if the DH becomes the pitcher?
