Shohei Ohtani, the designated batter of Los Angeles Dodgers, returned to the mound on Saturday.
Kansas City Royals organized leading Dodgers in the west of the National League. Ohtani had his longest departure from the season at Kansas City. While the Dodgers fell Saturday’s game against the real ones, Ohtani gave only one hit in two tickets.
I had been only one entry in the previous beginnings this season while the launch activity continues to increase after undergoing surgery in 2023 in the elbow.

One of Ohtani’s releases launched the Kauffman stadium fell 101.7 mph, the highest speed of any launch that the two -way star has launched in his MLB race.
“Obtaining Shohei in two tickets by throwing the ball as it did is certainly positive,” said the Dodgers manager, Dave Roberts. “I didn’t know it was 102 (MPH). I just saw 100, so not, I didn’t expect that. Now I’m going to keep my fingers crossed that he feels good going out today.”

Ohtani struck out three times as the initial batter in the defeat of the Dodgers 9-5.
The three -time MVP did not release last season, the first with the Dodgers, while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He made 86 openings as a starter for five seasons with Los Angeles Angels, with 38-19 with an effectiveness of 3.01.

On Saturday, Ohtani launched first launch strikes to the seven batters he faced and ended with 27 pitches, 20 for attacks.
“I am happy to have been able to attack the area,” Ohtani said through an interpreter. “There are some small things that I still need to work, but in general I am quite happy.”

It allowed a one-out single to Bobby Witt Jr. in the first and walked to Maikel García before throwing the rapid ball of 101.7 mph in a 0-2 count to Vinnie Pasquantino, who was based on a double play.
“It’s something that I don’t think I can do in a live BP environment,” Ohtani said. “It is good to be able to hit this veil and see how my body reacts.”
The 30 -year -old has 29 home runs this season as the main designated batter of Los Angeles.
