The article discusses Shohei Ohtani's remarkable return to pitching after his second Tommy John surgery, highlighted by his fastest recorded pitch at 101.7 mph. In his third start, Ohtani delivered two scoreless innings, demonstrating a significant recovery compared to his first surgery. Despite exhibiting powerful throwing performance, he acknowledges ongoing mechanical adjustments. The Dodgers are cautious while managing his pitching status to preserve his batting prowess, as losing his offensive contributions would significantly impact the team's performance. Ohtani's return is seen as promising as he evolves back into dominant form.
It's something I don't think I would be able to do in a live BP setting,
I felt pretty good about being able to come back and pitch well - especially considering when I first had the surgery.
And talking to the doctor, he was very confident that I would be able to come back in full form.
It's still a work in progress.
