3 days agoAccording to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter/starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani (elbow, shoulder) threw his first bullpen of the spring on Saturday. Ohtani tossed 14 pitches and only threw four- and two-seamers. His velocity reached 92-94 mph. Manager Dave Roberts noted that this was a "great" first bullpen. Ohtani was unable to pitch during the 2024 campaign after undergoing Tommy John surgery in September of 2023. However, this did not inhibit his performance in the batter's box, as he established the 50/50 club with a stellar .310/.391/.646 slash line. He generated an elite .442 xwOBA, .314 xBA, and a .660 xSLG. Earlier in the offseason, it was reported that the 30-year-old was hoping to return to the bump sometime in May. During the first month of the season, fantasy managers should expect Ohtani to continue to serve as the designated hitter. He's viewed as the top pick in all formats as a hitter.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
