"The 2025 campaign featured Ohtani's long-awaited return to the mound as his first season in Dodger blue was solely as the team's designated hitter. Ohtani, the hitter, finished the regular season with 55 home runs, 102 RBIs, 20 stolen bases, 146 runs scored and an OPS of 1.014. Ohtani, the pitcher, made 14 starts, producing a 2.87 ERA with 62 strikeouts across 47 innings in 2025."
"I do plan on being able to pitch off the mound from the beginning of the season. For me, the biggest thing is being able to stay healthy throughout the whole season and hopefully be able to start and end the season on the mound. The goal is obviously to be healthy for the full year and be able to pitch for the whole year."
