We all want to see shohei pitch for the dodgers ⚾🔥💙

[@xiaobiaoxu5984]

Exactly ... Shohei not having the passion in Pitching is a total BS. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY a Cy Young Caliber Pitcher does not have that passion to pitch ... Shohei wants to be a two-way player and that is exactly why he is a 700 million global icon. He needs to pitch and, to be honest, he needs to win a Cy Young to truly surpass Babe Ruth. If he does hitting only, then he is just a great hitter. One clearly can argue that Judge, Soto, Trout (few years ago), or Harper are better (than Shohei) in hitting.

[@RunForPeace-hk1cu]

That’s what the haters want 😂😂

[@beverlysaylor7339]

Truth!

[@koningklootzak7788]

Shohei is clearly better hitter than those you mentioned

bruh boob is blowing some bs lmao shohei has always said pitcher first hitter second.

[@johnchieze530]

ohtani's biggest stint as a pitcher was closing the wbc title game vs team usa for japan, seen by 150 million t.v. viewers. there is just as much need for bullpen pitchers as starters in the majors if he chooses to go there

[@simondaughtry4619]

Ohtani should become a Mariano Rivera type CLOSER... fewer pitches less stress per outing... 15-25 pitches~ 2-4 times a week~ It's a no brainer. That's why I thought of it....lol.

[@MichaelPascoe-ru3rr]

Getting May and Miller back is huge

[@laartwork]

I have no faith in Miller. May only seems to pitch a couple games then goes out for 2 years

[@MichaelPascoe-ru3rr]

@@laartwork really no faith in Miller?

[@Dodgers-sw2uk]

I think it’s crazy for him to stop pitching, but I think it’s even crazier to ask him to keep pitching full seasons and in the playoffs. This isn’t the Angels, Dodgers don’t need him to pitch and hit all year. It would be much better for his arm and the Dodgers if he played the first half of every season as an outfielder and then started pitching around July every year. That is the proper way to use him. His value to this club will be in the playoffs.

[@PMorinaga]

Shohei said last yr he doesn't know how much longer he can do both But he plans to as long as physically possible. I think probably about 4 more years . After that he could play on the field. Currently has outfielder and 1st baseman glove in his locker. In HS played on infield.

[@speculator3gthe238]

Ohtani’s GOTTA pitch!! He’s getting paid to do both!

As a kid I used to dislike the Dodgers. However, as of now the Dodgers are and is an excepcional organization: not only they have the resources to sign all star players but also are very good in developing young players who become good players, and also help veteran players to reflourish their carreers. For me, Shohei signing with the dodgers was a no brainer, they were the only true good choice for him. Dodgers being this consistent and very good team is, I think, great for baseball, it helps in growing this beautiful sport atracting potencial new fans and future young athletes. Keep it up the excelent work and class Dodgers!!! Also thanks for your commitment to offer quality baseball across the game. I wish the team I cheer on and other small market teams learn from the Dodgers.

[@halflanding1900]

Hey, thanks so much for supporting Shohei’s passion for pitching!! All these guys who’re suddenly touting this batting only thing: _THEY’VE NEVER SEEN SHOHEI PITCH._ Don’t listen to them and just watch the next phase Ohtani unfold in 2025.

[@GOAThani]

If everyone can be healthy, this is the starting pitching depth chart by September: 1) Glasnow 2) Yamamoto 3) Miller 4) Kershaw 5) Buehler 6) Stone 7) May 8) Paxton 9) Knack 10) Yarbrough That is insane. Who is going to get packaged for a SS or OF?

[@mikem3789]

Add Ohtani and Sasaki in 2025!

[@georgejameson9317]

They blow up 2 pitchers a year at least

[@goatyachty1762]

What do you mean shohei "delay" he is on pretty good pace with his program

Is this live?

[@BC-th3mx]

[@LosDoyerss]

Ohtani isn’t going to stop pitching. No way in hell. It’s part of what makes him such an amazing player.

[@JonathanNelsonOfficial]

May should take over Grove’s role in the pen.

[@speculator3gthe238]

Goataniii!!!

[@joelnall5882]

Just hit like Ruth!!

[@RunForPeace-hk1cu]

The haters just want him to be like one of the guys because they are afraid that if he realizes his full potential he’ll be the goat 🐐 of baseball ⚾️ It triggers them that a foreign born player “who can’t speak English” is taken over Americans pastime

[@georgejameson9317]

I understand the bulk of his money is deferred, but 70 million a year for a DH? I imagine he won’t be living in California or the U. S. at all for that matter. This to minimize taxes on his private island or other tax refuge like the Canary Islands

Ohtani is not going to come close to breaking the home run record. He has 184 home runs and he's been in the league for 6 seasons. He would need to average over 50 home runs per season for the rest of his career to have a shot.

[@thaivue2644]

He needs to pitch cause the team needs him.

Oh they will never be back on track.

Love him dodgers, mehh . This will turn out exactly like the Yankees and all the mega bucks players they buy. Case in point : The Los Angeles Dodgers have won once in the World Series between May 17, 1994 and May 17, 2024. San Francisco giants 3 in the past 20 years .

Worried about Ohtani injuring his arm or shoulder pitching

[@THEOPINIONATEDSPORTSMAN]

Don’t care if Ohtani pitches at all. The only thing I want see is a Championship.

[@sithman5000]

I would've gladly traded lux for arraez, he's tearing it up for Diego.

[@laartwork]

They wouldn't have had to trade Lux. Marlins took 2 players who weren't top 100 prospects and are still paying most of Arraez salary. Weirdest trade ever.

[@mikem3789]

Ohtani pitching in 2025 might depend on whether the Dodgers sign Sasaki next year and/or resign Buehler and Kershaw.

[@jorgevillagomez5908]

May should never be a starter again

[@olivi3339]

Ohtani is due for a slump....

[@isis622]

No

[@arizzonLA]

also against this idea, need 350mill back if that’s the case

[@gaimon-p5n]

Ohtani is deferring his salary for 10 years without interest, so it's probably just under $500 million after accounting for real inflation. And considering the huge advertising revenue that goes into Ohtani's Dodgers, as long as Ohtani doesn't get hurt, they'll be able to recoup it.

[@arizzonLA]

It would be a huge disappointment. I hope they’re not serious about it.

[@michaelprokasky3866]

I don't want ohtani pitching I want him to have along career, I'd rather him play the outfield and people bringing up the money he makes is ridiculous, the marketing he provides for the dodgers pays for itself

[@andiepantss6838]

All the pitching in the world doesn't matter if you can't hit. We lose by 3 to 4 runs. Quite pathetic.

[@MichaelPascoe-ru3rr]

I agree. Dodger offense is not going to cut it. They really need to figure out that bottom of the line up or it’s going to be a long season and short lost season again

[@andiepantss6838]

@@MichaelPascoe-ru3rr I'm thinking at this point if you can't hit the ball get hit by the ball

[@mikem3789]

I think the hitting will go hot and cold the rest of the season. The Dodgers will run away with their Division once again, but if the hitting goes cold during the playoffs, you can expect the same early exit.

[@sithman5000]

Do you even baseball? Pitching doesn't matter? Pitching is everything, Pitching keeps you in the game because by your logic losing by 3 or 4 runs is evident you can never have enough pitching.

[@MichaelPascoe-ru3rr]

@@sithman5000 why are you chiming in with negative energy. Simply saying that you can have a solid rotation and bullpen but it wouldn’t mean much if you can’t score runs. All an opposing team has to do is score 2 runs and take the win. Come now any fan knows pitching is very important but scoring runs is as well.
