Wednesday’s Freeway Series game will be Ohtani’s first regular-season pitching appearance against the Dodgers, many of whom were in college when he debuted in MLB.
LOS ANGELES ― The Dodgers have had to pitch to the Angels’ Shohei Ohtani on at least two occasions in each of the last five seasons.
There was a time when many within the baseball industry questioned whether Ohtani’s bold two-way experiment would work. Infielder Michael Busch was a sophomore at the University of North Carolina when Ohtani debuted with the Angels. Another former two-way player, Angels first baseman Jared Walsh, only established himself as a major league regular once he gave up pitching.
DeLuca played for the University of Oregon with Angels minor leaguer Kenyon Yovan. Drafted as a two-way player, Yovan hit .194 at the Advanced-A level in 2021 and now is a full-time pitcher at Double-A Rocket City.
