TEMPE, Ariz. -- Two-way star Shohei Ohtani had a solid spring training debut on the mound Monday, striking out five while giving up one run over 2u2153 innings for the Los Angeles Angels.
Last year's American League MVP was sharp in the first, getting a called strike on his first pitch to Kansas City's Kyle Isbel and then earning the strikeout by blowing a high fastball past the left fielder three pitches later.
The right-hander retired seven of the 11 hitters he faced. Edward Olivares hit a one-out single and JaCoby Jones was hit by a pitch in the second.
