Did you catch Shohei Ohtani 3.0 pitching in Arizona on Saturday? It is an Ohtani we have never seen before.
In his first bullpen session of the spring after his second surgery to his right elbow, the Los Angeles Dodgers two-way sensation broke out a windup we have never seen from him in MLB before. He started with his shoulders nearly square to the hitter and took a drop step with his left foot before beginning the leg lift phase of his delivery. The windup allows him to generate more momentum with his body, which theoretically could take more strain off his arm.
