Shohei Ohtani, despite his offensive prowess, hasn't pitched for the Dodgers yet. He has a strong record with a 3.01 ERA and impressive strikeout average. Following Tommy John surgery, the Dodgers are being cautious about his return. According to manager Dave Roberts, Ohtani recently completed a bullpen session and is showing good velocity, but a full return is still a few months away. The focus remains on ensuring his elbow is fully healed, as Ohtani will be critical for the Dodgers' pitching plans this season.
"Ohtani looked great. It's easy velocity. And this guy, he's a unicorn. He's throwing his fastball - four-seam, two-seamer, his splitter, he's kind of easy 92-93 [MPH]."
"Time of return, we're still at a couple of months away. I know that's still vague. We're just trying to get to the next step and see where we're at."
