Shohei Ohtani Marks Dramatic Return: First Live Batters Since Elbow Surgery Ignite Speculation on His MLB Comeback
Dodgers pitching coach Mark Prior told reporters that Ohtani mostly threw fastballs at 94-95 mph, but got up to 96-97. He also threw a splitter and a couple of sweepers in what Prior felt was an encouraging session.
“It’s a big step getting on a mound, facing hitters,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Saturday, via the New York Daily News.
Roberts added that the next step would be amping up his velocity while also throwing his slider. Ohtani added breaking pitches during a session for the first time this week.
