Shohei Ohtani made his pitching debut in a Dodgers uniform on Monday, showcasing his dual abilities as both a pitcher and a hitter. In his first outing, Ohtani allowed a run in a single inning, then faced a strikeout in his first at-bat as the designated hitter for Los Angeles. This marks the first time since August 23, 2023, that Ohtani has participated in both roles within a single game.
