SEOUL —
So far, the Dodgers’ trip to Korea has been a quiet one offensively for Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani.
Despite taking plenty of big hacks in the team’s two exhibition games against Korean opponents this week, the slugger went 0 for five in his final tune-up at-bats before the regular season, which begins Wednesday with the Dodgers’ international series against the San Diego Padres.
In a much more notable development Monday, however, manager Dave Roberts said the two-way talent will begin a throwing program once the club returns from its trans-Pacific trek — the latest significant step in Ohtani’s long road back to the mound following last September’s Tommy John surgery.
