Shohei Ohtani Working Out Of The Windup
1 month agoLos Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (elbow, shoulder) has thrown mostly out of the full windup in his first two bullpen sessions this spring after pitching almost exclusively out of the stretch in his time with the Los Angeles Angels. "As part of being a baseball player, I do want to explore different options ...different avenues, to see if I could grow as a player. I do that on the pitching side as well as a hitter," Ohtani said. The 30-year-old three-time MVP plans to continue using the windup once he begins pitching in games to see how his body responds. The change probably won't make much of an impact on Ohtani's fantasy value as he returns to pitching in 2025 after not pitching at all in his first year with the Dodgers while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The Dodgers are slow-playing him as a pitcher, and he's unlikely to make his pitching debut for the Blue until sometime in May.
