Outside The Confines: Ohtani oh no!
Photo by Brian Rothmuller/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesWe’ve got a ton of Shohei Ohtani stories today, but please check out some of the stories on players who don’t play two ways. The Randy Arozarena story is really good, for example.
Angels two-way player Shohei Ohtani has a torn ulnar collateral ligament and will not pitch again this season. Ohtani and the Angels are waiting to get a second opinion before they proceed, but this is the same injury that caused him to have Tommy John surgery in 2018.
However, Ohtani insists that he will continue to play as a designated hitter this season.
