Los Angeles Angels two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani underwent successful Tommy John surgery on Tuesday at the Kerlan & Jobe Orthopedic Clinic in Los Angeles, his agent said in a statement.
Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who performed the surgery, added that he expects Ohtani to be fully recovered and ready to hit without restrictions by 2024 Opening Day. He added that Ohtani should return to both hitting and pitching by 2025.
"Shohei wanted to make sure the direction taken gave him every opportunity to hit and pitch for many years to come," Ohtani's agent said.
