LOS ANGELES -- A throng of camera operators, photographers and reporters gathered near Dodger Stadium's left-field line Monday as Shohei Ohtani played what amounted to an intense game of catch. His throws came from a standstill position, a wide-legged stance, a crowhop and a leg kick, 71 in total. Thomas Albert, the Los Angeles Dodgers' head athletic trainer, tracked them all with a pocket radar.

As he has progressed through his rehabilitation as a pitcher, Ohtani has begun to try and guess the precise velocity of his throws.
