Shohei Ohtani Is Finally Healthy And That Is Bad News For The AL West

If you missed it yesterday, Shohei Ohtani is healthy and looks to be fully recovered from whatever injuries have been bothering him for the past few seasons. He hit 2 home runs yesterday, the second one being a bomb and a half, and those 2 homers raised his average this spring to .563. Decent! 3 home runs on the season, with those 2 being hit yesterday, and he's also feeling it on the mound too. He's recorded 12 outs while pithing and 9 of them have been Ks. Soooo yeah I think he's feeling okay and is going to be dangerous this year. That oppo power from him is just absurd. 

It's still wild to think that he is hitting 100 on the mound and has 30+ HR potential. IF he can stay healthy he may be one of the most exciting players in baseball. It's exactly what a guy like Mike Trout needs to help lift their team to a playoff run. His 2020 season was a throw away, he was god awful in his 2 appearances on the mound and at the plate so lets just forget that. He's got to bounce back this year, he's too good not to, and him hitting these homers opposing is a great sign. And look at those swing and misses in the video above, he's feeling it on the mound too. Man this guy is good, have to hope he can put it all together this season.
