NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 25: Shohei Ohtani #17 of the Los Angeles Dodgers reacts after a pitch during live batting practice before the game between the New York Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers at Citi Field on May 25, 2025 in the Flushing neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City. Ohtani had ACL surgery in 2023 and hasn't pitched in a MLB game 2024, Ohtani was the team's exclusive designated hitter and had arguably one of the greatest offensive performances in the history of baseball. Ohtani set career-highs in home runs, hits, runs scored, runs batted in, doubles, and stolen bases last season. Ohtani invented the 50 home run, 50 stolen base club as he finished his inaugural campaign as a Dodgers with 54 home runs and 59 stolen bases. In his first postseason appearance, Ohtani won the first World Series title of his career. The Dodgers superstar capped off the season by unanimously winning the National League Most Valuable Player award for the 2024 season, becoming the first exclusive designated hitter to win the accolade. Ohtani was also the first player in MLB history to unanimously win three MVPs. In 2025, Ohtani will return to his "norm" as a two-way star beginning Monday night against the Padres. Manager Dave Roberts revealed Ohtani will likely pitch just one inning, but the excitement for his return to the pitcher's mound is evident. Ohtani is not fully built up and the Dodgers have made it abundantly clear the two-way star will not be rushed in his return despite injuries hampering the rotation. But Monday's game marks the beginning of a new era in Los Angeles. More news: Two-Time World Series Champion, Beloved Member of 1969 Mets, Passes Away For more MLB news, visit Newsweek Sports.
