The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking forward to the return of Shohei Ohtani, who is recovering from elbow surgery. Ohtani's significant investment, a 10-year $700 million deal, underscores the high hopes for his performance. MLB expert Bob Nightengale speculates that while Ohtani may return to pitching in 2026, his true passion lies in hitting. Nightengale suggests that if Ohtani transitions from pitching, potential positions could include outfield or first base, indicating a strategic shift that highlights his athleticism and skill at the plate over time.
I'd be more curious to see what happens after next year. I think he'll be in the rotation again in 2026, then we'll see what happens.
I think one more for sure, after this. I think he pitches because he knows he can do it, fun novelty and stuff, but I think his heart and soul is really into hitting.
