Shohei Ohtani Throws Fastest Pitch of MLB Career in Third Mound Start for Los Angeles Dodgers

  • On June 28, 2025, during his third pitching appearance for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Shohei Ohtani recorded the fastest pitch of his MLB career—a 101.7 mph fastball—at the ballpark in Kansas City.
  • Ohtani's recent performance came after he had ligament repair surgery on his right elbow during the fall of 2023, marking his second significant operation following the Tommy John procedure he underwent in 2018.
  • He pitched two scoreless innings, induced an inning-ending double play on the 101.7 mph fastball, but the Dodgers lost 9-5 as Kansas City extended the lead by the seventh inning.
  • Ohtani threw 27 pitches with 20 strikes, struck out one batter, went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts as designated hitter, and holds a.291/.392/.641 batting line with 29 home runs this season.
  • The Dodgers, with a 52-32 record and a six-game lead in the National League West, rely on Ohtani’s two-way contributions amid a rotation affected by injuries for the second half of the season.
