Shohei Ohtani has been drawing record crowds wherever he plays as a top Dodger hitter this season. Now sports fans can catch a glimpse of the “Modern Day Babe Ruth” practicing his pitching.
Before a victorious May 13 game against NL West rivals San Francisco Giants, Ohtani was having a go at throwing the ball at Oracle Park. Could the baseball superstar’s return to the pitcher mound be on the near horizon? Dodger fans can only hope.
The pitcher-hitter phenom is still rehabilitating from elbow surgery last season but seeing him actually practice his throwing is very encouraging and exciting to say the least. The practice demonstrates his strong commitment to continue on his road of recovery.
LA fans and all of baseball are already enthralled by Ohtani the Dodgers Hitter, we can only imagine how everyone will absolutely lose their minds when he adds Ohtani the Dodgers Pitcher to his jaw-dropping performances.
