Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani is continuing his build up back on the bump. Ohtani has made three pitching starts for the Dodgers, and is set to make his fourth appearance on the mound on his birthday.
On Saturday, Ohtani will be the Dodgers’ starting pitcher against the Houston Astros on his 31st birthday. The right-hander is coming off his best start of the season, which was headlined by Ohtani throwing the fastest pitch of his MLB career — a 101.7 mph fastball.
Ohtani tossed two scoreless innings in a 27-pitch performance against the Kansas City Royals.
