Angels' Shohei Ohtani (elbow) hits on field
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow) took on-field batting practice Wednesday.
What It Means:
It was Ohtani's first on-field session since undergoing Tommy John surgery. He was placed on the injured list to start the year, but Ohtani is expected to make his season debut at designated hitter around the beginning of May. Albert Pujols is handling DH duties for the Angels versus right-hander Mike Fiers and the Oakland Athletics on Opening Day.
numberFire's models expect Ohtani to bat .274 with 25 taters, 74 RBI, 67 runs scored, and 10 steals across 465 plate appearances in 2019.
