Shohei Ohtani’s 50-50 Feat: Can He Defy Baseball History Once More?

Ohtani underwent his second career elbow surgery in September 2023, and his recovery process has been slower than many expected. That likely has more to do with the immense offensive value he offers the Dodgers than any major physical setback. Still, 20 months removed from the operating room, Ohtani has not yet thrown his slider and has not yet faced live hitters.
