"He seems like he's on a mission, pitching-wise. Whenever we've seen him on a mission, good things happen. He wants a Cy Young, and you can tell with the way he's carrying himself here recently. I think this year we're going to expect a different Shohei on the mound."
"There's no ceiling with him. He can go out there and win a Cy Young this year. I have no doubt about that. He's hit 98 mph in simulated innings in spring training, with his pitching being described as electric by those who have observed him."
"Last season, Ohtani started 14 games on the mound, with a record of 1-1. He had an ERA of 2.87 and 62 strikeouts against nine walks, with a WHIP of 1.043. In five seasons pitching for the Los Angeles Angels he had a record of 38-19 with an ERA of 3.01."
Shohei Ohtani, a Los Angeles Dodgers superstar with four MVP awards and two World Series titles, is pursuing the Cy Young Award, the major honor missing from his resume. Despite his legendary hitting accomplishments, including 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season, his pitching remains relatively unawarded. This season, Ohtani appears focused on changing that narrative. Dodgers executives and teammates report he is on a mission pitching-wise, with catcher Will Smith expressing no doubt about his ability to win the award. Ohtani has demonstrated electric pitching in spring training, reaching 98 mph. Last season, he posted a 2.87 ERA with 62 strikeouts across 14 starts.
