Shohei Ohtani`s recovery progresses as he reaches 95 mph in bullpen sessions, aiming for a May 2025 return.

Shohei Ohtani has made significant strides in his recovery from a second Tommy John surgery, showcasing his progress during a recent bullpen session. The Los Angeles Dodgers` manager, Dave Roberts, noted that Ohtani reached a velocity of 95 mph and introduced cutters into his pitching routine, marking a pivotal moment in his rehabilitation.

Although Ohtani has not pitched in the MLB since his surgery, he is anticipated to return to the mound in May 2025. However, he will miss the Opening Day and the Dodgers` Tokyo Series against the Chicago Cubs. Until his return, Ohtani will continue to serve as the designated hitter for the reigning World Series champions.

As he prepares for his 2025 Dodgers Spring Training debut, Ohtani is eager to explore various avenues for growth as both a pitcher and a hitter. The Dodgers have decided against having him pitch in Cactus League games or assigning him for rehab, a strategy that aligns with Ohtani`s previous experiences with injuries. For more details on Ohtani`s progress, check out the Shohei Ohtani pitching update and insights from Dodgers Spring Training.
