Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations revealed whether or not two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani would have pitching restrictions in the Game 1 of the NLDS against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Ohtani returned to pitching this season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, and has been monitored extremely closely by the Dodgers in his recovery. He began his return by pitching one inning per game, and has gradually increased his load as the season has progressed. His last start of the regular season against the Arizona Diamondbacks lasted six innings, where he held the D-backs scoreless.
“I just think he’s a normal starting pitcher now,” Friedman said.
