Shohei Ohtani is back.
The Dodgers star hit a solo home run against his former team, the Angels, in his first at-bat of spring training on Friday. As if that wasn’t impressive enough on its own, he homered to opposite field.
It’s a promising sign for the 30-year-old slugger, who underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder this offseason.

Last season, Ohtani hit 54 home runs and stole 59 bases, which made him the first season in MLB history to reach at least 50 home runs and 50 steals in a single season. Time will tell if he can replicate that success this season, but he’s off to a strong start.
Ohtani and the Dodgers will start their 2025 regular season campaign with the Tokyo Series against the Chicago Cubs on March 18-19. The game will be broadacst on FOX/FS1.
