The LA Angels got word Thursday that Shohei Ohtani elbow is progressing to the point where he can start throwing again. This does not mean he is ready to come back and pitch just yet, but it is a positive step in the right direction. The question then becomes, should the Angels push Ohtani to return this season as a pitcher as well?
We all love to watch Shohei Ohtani pitch and hit, but if something were to happen to Ohtani that could sideline him for all of next season and possibly longer it would be much worse.
