Overview

• Shohei Ohtani threw a 20-pitch bullpen session on March 29, 2025, marking his first time pitching off a mound since February 25.
• The session focused exclusively on fastballs as part of his gradual pitching progression following dual surgeries in late 2023.
• Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stated Ohtani remains far from game readiness as a pitcher, with no specific timeline for his return to the mound.
• Ohtani had paused his pitching rehab during Spring Training to focus on his hitting, which remains a priority as he continues to serve as the team's designated hitter.
• The Dodgers are prioritizing Ohtani's long-term health and postseason readiness, supported by a deep pitching rotation that allows for a patient recovery process.
