Shohei Ohtani, the two-way star for the Los Angeles Angels, has been given the green light to continue his pursuit of being a pitcher and hitter after recovering from an elbow injury. Ohtani’s agent, Nez Balelo, recently confirmed that the Japanese phenom will continue to pursue both roles after his recovery.
Ohtani has been sidelined since June due to a Grade 2 sprain of his UCL, an injury that typically requires Tommy John surgery. However, Ohtani was able to avoid surgery and instead underwent a stem cell injection and platelet-rich plasma therapy. After months of rehab and rest, Ohtani is now ready to return to the field.
The Angels have been cautious with Ohtani’s recovery, but Balelo’s confirmation means that Ohtani will be able to resume both pitching and hitting. This is great news for the Angels, who have been without their star player for months. Ohtani has been a key contributor for the Angels since he joined the team in 2018, and his return will be a huge boost for the team’s playoff chances.
Ohtani’s ability to play both pitcher and hitter is a rare talent that few players possess. He has already proven himself as a dominant pitcher, and his bat has been a key part of the Angels’ lineup. With Ohtani back in the fold, the Angels will be a much more formidable team.
The news of Ohtani’s recovery is a welcome sight for Angels fans, who have been eagerly awaiting his return. With Ohtani back in action, the Angels will be a force to be reckoned with in the American League.
