Shohei Ohtani made his long-awaited return to the mound against competitive hitters on Tuesday, but the results were less than favorable for the Los Angeles Angels.
The last time Shohei Ohtani threw a pitch to a live hitter was September 2, 2018. After a full season on the mound lost to Tommy John surgery and an extended spring of workouts to get him back up to speed, the Los Angeles Angels were excited to see what their two-way star had in the tank for his first intrasquad start.
