Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts Reveals When Shohei Ohtani Will Make 2025 Pitching Debut

Shohei Ohtani is a generational talent who helped lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to their eighth World Series trophy and earned National League Most Valuable Player honors along the way.

Despite all this, we have only seen half of the MVP’s truest potential as a Dodger.

Recovering from a torn UCL, the baseball world knew that Ohtani would not pitch in 2024 when signing with Los Angeles, but the two-time MVP exceeded all expectations earning a third MVP (his first in the NL), smashing 54 home runs, and recording 59 stolen bases — a feat no player had ever achieved.
