Shohei Ohtani's Pitching Future Clouded by Injury and Free Agency

Shohei Ohtani, the two-way star for the Los Angeles Angels, faces a difficult decision regarding his future as a pitcher and hitter. If he chooses to undergo Tommy John surgery to repair his throwing elbow, he may have a better chance of returning as a top-flight pitcher but would likely have to skip the 2024 season. Opting for surgery could also add risk to his rehab process as a pitcher, considering it would be his second elbow-ligament reconstruction. However, if he focuses on hitting and becomes a designated hitter, he could potentially return next season. The decision will have implications for his career trajectory, potential earnings, and the teams interested in signing him.
