Shohei Ohtani continues to move towards regaining the path of the second sword

Shohei Ohtani is expected to have a cowshed practice pitch on Wednesday the 24th (US time) and a full bullpen practice pitch on Saturday US time, Robles said: "I don't know what his next step will be, but I think it will be more clear when he starts to face the batter. But now, he's still in the bullpen practice stage, and he hasn't thrown a slide yet. ”

Shohei Ohtani threw 30 balls, 26 balls and 20 balls in the cowpen on April 12, April 5 and March 29 local time, respectively, Shohei Ohtani underwent his second right elbow ligament surgery in September 2023 and left shoulder surgery last year due to a running injury.

Some people think that Shohei Ohtani has become an important presence in the team even if he doesn't pitch, so the team doesn't necessarily want to make him back as a pitcher, but Robles doesn't think so: "Ohtani is a player who has done two-cut, and he's doing really well as a pitcher, and he wants to be a two-cutter, and he has the talent to do that, so you can actually get two star players." Having him in the second stream would give the team a high ceiling, but I understand everyone's opinion. ”
