Since joining MLB in 2018, Ohtani has compiled a 3.01 ERA, a 38-19 record, and a 1.082 WHIP across 74 career starts. His electric stuff — including a high-90s fastball and devastating splitter — made him one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball when healthy.

Dave Roberts says Ohtani will throw off a bullpen mound for the first time in more than a month on Saturday, but there remains no specific timetable for him to pitch in a major-league game.
