Shohei Ohtani Eyes Return to Pitch and Field in 2025
Shohei Ohtani, primarily a designated hitter this season, may start a throwing program to potentially play in the field for the Los Angeles Dodgers. His $700 million contract has drawn attention, and he will face his friend Yu Darvish, who will pitch for the San Diego Padres in the MLB season opener. Darvish, overshadowed by Ohtani, sees this as an opportunity to take center stage.
