Ohtani Shohei was the starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday, marking his come-back as a two-way player.



Fans were already on their feet when the Japanese Major League superstar emerged from the dugout at Dodger Stadium. They watched him warm up for the game against the San Diego Padres.



Ohtani had to take a break from pitching for nearly two years after undergoing his second elbow surgery.



The last time he both pitched and batted was in August 2023 when he was with the Los Angeles Angels. This is his first time on the mound for the Dodgers.
