The Los Angeles Dodgers strongly raised the curtain on spring training on the 11th (Korea Standard Time) at Glendale Camelback Ranch in Arizona, USA, by registering pitchers and catchers. The Dodgers will start their first official training on the 12th, and a day before this, Ohtani threw from the mound was released on the club's SNS.
Ohtani's pitching training during the offseason has often been seen unofficially online, but it is the first time the club has announced that his pitching rehabilitation is going smoothly.
While the number and speed of bullpen pitching pitches were not disclosed, Ohtani also conducted batting training after pitching, and the Dodgers also revealed a light bat-wielding television training.
In response, the fan media Dodgers Nation is 'A familiar face appeared on Juss' two-pointer call-up day and not only threw the ball with a comfortable expression, but also put the ball on the tee and swung fearfully hard without any problems.

Ohtani received right elbow Tommy John Surgery in the fall of 2018 when he was with the Los Angeles Angels. After returning in 2020, the shortened season, and throwing one game, he began to write a full-fledged pitching and hitting myth in 2021. However, he started against the Cincinnati Reds in the second half of 2023 and ended the season as a pitcher complaining of elbow pain, and in September of that year, he received Tommy John Surgery for the second time and went back to long pitching rehabilitation.
Ohtani, who signed a 10-year, $700 million FA contract in December of that year and wore a Dodgers uniform, focused only on hitters last year and achieved an unprecedented 50 home runs and 50 steals, but smoothly progressed his rehabilitation as a pitcher, even estimating the possibility of taking the postseason. However, while trying to steal in Game 2 of the World Series against the New York Yankees, he injured his left shoulder and underwent surgery to seal the ruptured Wasun. Due to this surgery, the return to the mound was postponed from the opening game to May.
Roberts attended the Dodgerfest event on the 2nd and watched Otani's swing scene during the offseason. Who do you think is a player who has had surgery?", he said, evaluating that the rehabilitation was completed perfectly.

The LAT said there will be a lot of interest whenever Otani plays bullpen pitching or batting training in camp. From Ohtani's spring training, we can see a little bit whether his pitching and hitting will work well. 'The Dodgers are not worried about Ohtani. According to club officials, the shoulder that underwent surgery is on the left side, which affects the swing less than on the right side. We will be ready to hit until the opening game.
The media then said 'The practical question is what about pitcher Ohtani, who returns to the mound after the second Tommy John Surgery. How long will it take for him to take the mound for the first time this year?' Roberts said, adding that May could be faster even though it is a tentative goal. He said it depends on how he feels at the first bullpen session of the camp.
