“Superstar” Shohei Ohtani (30, LA Dodgers) held an official training session at the new team LA Dodgers in the U.S. Major League Baseball (ML).
According to MLB.COM in the U.S. on the 10th (Korea time), Ohtani held his first official training session at Glendale Camelback Ranch in Arizona.
Ohtani said, “I’m on a new team, so I’ll act like a rookie, and I’ll make sure I get along well with my teammates.”
He also mentioned the opening game of the ML against the San Diego Padres at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul for two days from March 20.
Ohtani stressed that he is confident that he can play in the opening game of Seoul. Ohtani is expected to play as the designated hitter in the opening game of Seoul.
Ohtani, who also plays as a pitcher and batter, underwent Tommy John Surgery in September last year and will only play as a batter this season. “This is not my first time to rehabilitate. I know how to rehabilitate,” Ohtani said, dismissing concerns over his physical condition. Ohtani also underwent Tommy John surgery in 2018.
Meanwhile, pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who joined the Los Angeles Dodgers along with Ohtani, threw his first bullpen session. According to MLB.COM, Yamamoto threw about 20 to 25 pitches.
