Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani makes long-awaited return to the mound after elbow surgery
Shohei Ohtani abandoned a pair of eighth strikes and running in him Los Angeles Dodgers for the first time Against San Diego Padres on Monday evening, 21 months after surgery in two directions.
Ohtani threw 28 degrees – 16 for strikes – in the first half, where fans commented on each of them. They were exposed when the fast ball was scored at a speed of 100.2 miles per hour-I know the stadium that the escape lock this season.
Ohtiani appears to be working on the hill, and his face smells of sweat. He prepared for his usual music, Michael Polly’s version of “Feeling of Read”.
After retiring Zandand Bogerts on one of the founders of the third, Utani walked to one of the arbitrators who examined his hands and gloves. He did not enter the captain. Instead, place its striking gloves and other equipment near the handrails and walked to the circle on the surface to prepare for driving at the bottom of the half.
Ohtani swinging against the Badris of the Dylan suit stopped, but then tie the result in 1 with RBI weakness to the left center in the third.
“He is ready, he is a designer, he is satisfied, strong, and ready to display a major match in the league,” said Dodger’s director Dave Roberts. “I think everyone in this club, I think the fans, the media, were waiting for this moment.”
Ohtani Fernando Tatis Junior, Louis Arralz, Mane Machado, faced Javin and Bogaerts plates in the first. Tatis erupted one song to the middle and went to the second place on the OHTANI wild stadium. Arráez did the individual and recorded the Machado Fly Tatis sacrifice. Leaves and Bogaerts are based on the floor.
It was for Othtani on the hill. Anthony Banda replaced it in a second.
Roberts said: “I think I got the best seat at home to see him and watch this man starts and then takes a bridge,” Roberts said. “This is bananas. I am pleased.”

The Japanese Japanese player was escalating in a big league match about three weeks after confronting the strikers in the simulations for the first time. All the time, Ohtani was still practicing its strong strike in the NL West leadership lineup.
“It has reached the point that, hey, it seems that we must take this next step and almost look forward to ending the rehabilitation at the main league level due to the tax nature of what he was doing,” said Brandon Gomez, General Manager of Dodgers.
The archers returning from injuries in the minor league rehabilitation tasks are usually, but Ohtani is an exception.
Gomez said: “It was a generally encouraging in general the way he wears and was able to continue to feel satisfied,” Gomez said.
“You have to hear the player and confidence in the player,” Roberts said.
Roberts briefly looked at the absence of Ohhani Pat Hevovovi, but the gunman assured his manager that he was fine.
Roberts said: “It may change forward, but now he feels very comfortable taking the hill and reaching the hideout and getting its belongings to go to the bats,” Roberts said.
Gomez admitted that the team is in a unique position, in an attempt to balance the offensive ingenuity of Ohtani with his ability to tone while making a mistake on caution.
“We do not know how it will come out,” Gomez said. ” “It should be a continuous conversation and make sure that Shohei is the one who leads this conversation.”
MVP started three times at night beating.
While Al -Autani will not be deeply thrown into the games at the beginning, he is only present on the hill characters to reinforce the staff who were ejaculated by injuries. Dodgers have eight beginners, including Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell and Phenom Roki Sasaki Japanese, and six analgesics in the affected menu.
Roberts said that the coaches will see the leadership, delivery of Utani, and the ability to repeat mechanics.
“As he always does, he will give everything he has and expect a high -quality picnic,” Gomez said.
OHTANI is already in the list as the specified striking, so the evaders mainly add an additional jug without the need to move an opposite menu.
“This situation will not be once every day, so there will be time for recovery,” said Roberts. “We also have the luxury and put it as much as we want as much as a specific picnic.”
Ohtani Dodgers helped win their title in the Eighth World Championship-the first-last season, the first of the $ 700 million for 10 years. He won the third and first MVP award in the National League.

As an ox, he entered 38-19 at 3.01 and 608 exercises in 481 2/3 roles during his main career in the league.
“It is clear that the main goal is to make it strong in running running until October,” Gomez said.
