Ohtani recently returned to the Dodgers’ camp after participating with Japan in the World Baseball Classic, where he did not pitch but held bullpen sessions to keep his arm active.
The return of the four-time MVP has generated enormous excitement, as his ability to pitch and hit at an elite level makes him one of the most complete players in baseball history.
Why is Shohei Ohtani so special in baseball?
Because he is one of the few modern players capable of excelling both as a pitcher and a hitter at the same time—something extremely rare in Major League Baseball.
