Total Shock: Dave Roberts Reveals Shohei Ohtani Is Practicing Throwing With… His Left Hand, Before Returning To Mound Dodgers
MLB’s Two-Way Star Might Become Three-Way
In a move that’s left baseball insiders and fans alike speechless, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has confirmed something truly outrageous: Shohei Ohtani has been secretly practicing pitching — with his left hand.
Yes, the same Shohei Ohtani known for launching 450-foot home runs and striking out MVPs with his right arm may now be preparing a lefty return to the mound following his recovery from injury.
Dave Roberts Drops the Bomb
Roberts reportedly revealed the shocking development during an informal chat with reporters:
“You won’t believe this… but Shohei’s been playing long toss with his left. And it looks scary good.”
Insiders say Ohtani began left-handed training during his rehab, “just for fun.” But now, it’s become serious enough that pitching coaches are drawing up side sessions — and teammates are apparently “freaking out.”
Why This Could Break Baseball
If Ohtani successfully throws lefty in a live game, he would become:
- The first modern MLB player to hit, pitch, and switch arms
- A real-life video game glitch
- The greatest two-way weapon in sports history, now ambidextrous
Analysts are already calling it:
- “Shohei 2.0: Southpaw Edition”
- “Lefty Unicorn Mode”
- “The final boss of baseball”
Teammates Are Stunned
Clayton Kershaw, perhaps MLB’s most famous lefty, allegedly said:
“If he throws even 85 mph left-handed, I’m retiring.”
One reliever added:
“If he can pitch from both sides, we’ll need two scouting reports — for one guy.”
Ohtani’s Response? Classic Mystery
When asked by reporters about the rumor, Ohtani simply smiled and said:
“Why not?”
The Dodgers clubhouse has since gone into what sources describe as “controlled hysteria.”
Could We See It in 2025?
With Ohtani expected to return to pitching in 2025, Roberts hinted — half-jokingly — that the team might allow him to “try it out during Spring Training.”
But fans aren’t waiting. Social media has already exploded with:
- “Ohtani the Ambidextrous Avenger”
- “Shohei: Master of Both Realms”
- “When you unlock the secret left arm in career mode”
The Legend Grows
If true, this development pushes Ohtani further beyond legendary — into mythical. From dominating with his bat, to overpowering hitters with his right arm, to now possibly unleashing a left-handed arsenal, Shohei might be writing his own supernatural chapter in baseball history.
