All is right in the world because baseball fans get to see superstar Shohei Ohtani back on the mound in 2025. How many starts does Dave Roberts see Ohtani making this season? His expectations may surprise you and scare you.

Roberts told reporters Monday that Ohtani, a former Cy Young finalist with the Los Angeles Angels, will throw a bullpen session Saturday. Ohtani hasn’t thrown since Feb. 25 and instead spent spring training focusing on hitting.

Shohei Ohtani is preparing to take the next step in the ongoing rehab of his right elbow. That step will occur on Saturday, according to Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, when Ohtani will throw a bullpen session for the first time since Feb.
