The Los Angeles Dodgers will finally debut Shohei Ohtani on the mound on Monday evening against the San Diego Padres.
Fans have been waiting for this moment since Ohtani first signed with the Dodgers, but the three-time MVP has been out of pitching since August 23, 2023. USA Today’s MLB insider Bob Nightengale revealed the monetary value of how excited the baseball world is after a somewhat surprising Ohtani pitching announcement Sunday.
Ticket prices have grown 174 percent since the team announced Ohtani would return to the hill.
