Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani Throws Another Bullpen Session, Return to Mound Pre-All-Star Break 'North of Zero'
- Shohei Ohtani threw 44 pitches in a three-inning simulated game against minor leaguers on June 10, 2025, at Petco Park in San Diego.
- Ohtani has not pitched in an MLB game since his right elbow surgery in September 2023, which delayed his return to the mound with the Dodgers.
- Both the Dodgers’ manager and their pitching coach commended Ohtani’s control during the practice, though the manager noted that the likelihood of Ohtani pitching before the All-Star break remains greater than zero but still low.
- Ohtani recorded six strikeouts, 15 swings and misses, and reached a top pitch speed of 96 mph while issuing one walk in the simulated game, reflecting steady progress toward a full return.
- The Dodgers face multiple pitching injuries, which heightens the need for Ohtani’s arm, though the team stresses they will not rush his recovery despite their depleted rotation.
