What truly makes Ohtani great is his ability to both hit AND pitch at a high level. The Dodgers were never able to use this power, as Ohtani was recovering from Tommy John surgery last season.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/t_share\/MjEwMTA0NzA0Njc4NTAzOTAy\/usatsi_24522946.jpg\" alt=\"Dodgers Give Shohei Ohtani Pitching Update After Surgery - Athlon Sports\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next season, though, fans are looking forward to watching Ohtani pitch. Unfortunately, Dodger fans will have to wait a while before Ohtani takes the mound. After undergoing shoulder surgery for a torn labrum, Ohtani&#8217;s pitching debut will likely be delayed, per Bob Nightengale.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s highly unlikely now that Shohei Ohtani will be able to pitch in their 2-game series in Tokyo against the Chicago Cubs in March after undergoing surgery for his torn labrum on his left shoulder, but the Dodgers still are optimistic he&#8217;ll be pitching again in April,&#8221; Nightengale reported. Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani running the bases during a October 18 game against the New York Mets.<\/p>\n<p>Brad Penner-Imagn Images Brad Penner-Imagn Images Ohtani suffered an elbow injury during the 2023 season when he was with the Los Angeles Angels.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourbasin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/78\/2024\/11\/672c3bab216af6.04827571.jpeg?w=2560&amp;h=1440&amp;crop=1\" alt=\"Dodgers not counting on Ohtani to pitch at the start of next season following left shoulder surgery | Yourbasin\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While the injury and subsequent surgery prevented him from pitching, he was still cleared to play as a designated hitter.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, the elbow injury did not affect his performance on the plate. Ohtani became the first player to hit 50 homers and 50 stolen bases in a season with the Dodgers, en route to potentially another MVP season. He led Los Angeles to a World Series title, their first since 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shohei Ohtani impressed everyone in his first year with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
