Shohei Ohtani resumed throwing off a mound, hitting 92-94 mph during a 14 fastball bullpen session, signaling positive recovery. Although this is a slower pace than his usual mid-90s velocity, the Dodgers aim for his return to pitching by May. Ohtani's dual role as a pitcher and everyday DH poses a unique challenge, reminiscent of his earlier struggles after Tommy John surgery with the Angels. Despite a history of successful returns without rehab assignments, Ohtani's timeline and readiness remain a cautious focus for the Dodgers.
Ohtani's velocity sat 92-94 mph during his first mound session this spring, indicating encouraging progress in his rehab from injury.
Manager Dave Roberts indicated Ohtani could face live hitters before the Dodgers' upcoming trip to Tokyo for the regular season opener.
