Each pitch that was thrown felt like a victory. The Dodgers manager, Dave Roberts, was quick to offer his thoughts.“I thought it was great,” Dave said, clearly excited. “Just kind of seeing his delivery, which was really good, the clean arm stroke… Gosh, the velocity, the ball was coming out really good.” The session saw Ohtani’s fastball clocking an impressive 95 mph while adding a cutter back into the mix. Roberts referred to this as “a big step,” emphasizing the importance of Ohtani getting back to the mound.

With Ohtani back on track to resume his pitching in the MLB by May, the team is fully aware of the consequences.“He’s excited to pitch,” said manager Dave Roberts, echoing the anticipation surrounding Ohtani’s return. “I’m as excited and curious as you guys are,” he added. However, with the excitement comes the way to finding the right balance. A balance that will allow him to recover fully while maintaining his elite performance.
