Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani (31), who will be starting the season as a two-way pitcher for the first time in three years, threw 27 pitches in the bullpen on the 13th (14th Japan time), the first day of battery camp. Fans were excited as they immediately collaborated with pitcher Edwin Diaz (31), a guard candidate who joined the team this season. Otani asked catcher Smith to sit in the bullpen and threw 27 pitches, including curves, cuts, splits, and sweepers.
