The Dodgers have been steadfast from the moment they signed two-way star Shohei Ohtani in December, saying he will not pitch in 2024, no matter how well his rehab from last September’s elbow surgery goes – and all indications are it is going very well. MILWAUKEE — It’s Oct. 21. The Dodgers are clinging to a one-run lead in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series. It’s the ninth inning against – let’s say the Philadelphia Phillies with Trea Turner coming to the plate.
Ohtani started his throwing program right after the Dodgers returned from South Korea in March and has been making a limited number of throws every other day since. He has extended his long-toss out to 150 feet and is increasing the intensity of his throws recently. The Dodgers’ training staff closely monitors Ohtani’s throws, even using a small radar gun to gauge the speed of his full-effort throws.
If Ohtani continued with his throwing progression at his current pace, Gomes said, “basically he would be going through his biggest buildups at the beginning or the middle of October” at the same time he’s hitting in postseason games for the first time in his career.Right-hander Tyler Glasnow’s turn in the rotation comes up again on Friday but the Dodgers will not start him until Saturday in St. Louis coming off his seven-inning outing against the Pittsburgh Pirates last Sunday.
