Bobby Witt Jr. goes full ‘Superman’ with jaw-dropping viral catch in MLB showdown
What all Dodgers fans were hoping for finally happened. Shohei Ohtani returned to the mound after being out for almost two years. The Japanese player had a serious injury and had to undergo surgery that kept him out for a long time, but with a great recovery, he was able to return even earlier than expected.
In his first appearance, Ohtani threw 29 pitches, including a 100.2 mph fastball, exceeding even the velocity expectations he had set for himself. Although the performance was not perfect and fans were left wanting more, Ohtani managed to regain the rhythm, the level and above all, the enthusiasm of thousands of fans who see him as the great figure of the Dodgers.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts wanted to call for calm and explained what Ohtani’s process will be like in an interview with True Blue LA. “Ohtani feels good, although somewhat tired. We plan for him to have another outing sometime this week, possibly Saturday, Sunday or Monday. There is no hard and fast rule to wait seven days between each pitch”.
“He’s going to pitch two innings, three innings or more, but the most important thing is that he’s back,” Roberts said.
The Dodgers explain that the plan is to bring Ohtani back slowly, possibly returning next week between June 21 and 23, probably in Washington, D.C., against the Nationals.
The importance of Shohei Ohtani for the Dodgers
Shohei Ohtani is a key figure for the Dodgers not only because of his talent as a pitcher, but also because of his ability as a hitter. His versatility and ability to impact both sides of the game make him a unique and valuable player for the team. After a long recovery, his return promises to strengthen the lineup and rotation that the team so desperately needs.
Ohtani’s figure is key both on and off the field, as after it was announced that he could be back, tickets to see the Dodgers increased in price and the excitement of the fans grows even more when the Japanese player is on the field.
A physical and mental job
Shohei Ohtani’s recovery goes beyond the physical; it also involves intense mental work to return to his best. After almost two years out of action due to injuries, Ohtani has had to face not only the rehabilitation of his arm, but also the pressure of returning to compete at the elite level of baseball.
The careful approach taken by the Dodgers, combining medical supervision with patience in their return pace, seeks to avoid relapses and ensure that Ohtani regains confidence in each pitch. The support of his team, fans and family will be key to ensuring that the recovery is both physical and mental.

Dados de estreia do Flamengo no Mundial mostram como Pedro se esforça para não sair do time e ganhar mais minutos
A estreia do Flamengo no Mundial de Clubes revelou dados interessantes sobre a participação de Pedro, que ganhou voto de confiança de Filipe Luís e tem tido mais minutos em campo para “afinar” a parte técnica e física. Embora seja o atacante que atingiu a menor velocidade máxima, 28,1 km/h e percorreu a menor distância em campo (pouco mais de 7 Km) contra o Espérance, o camisa nove foi o jogador que mais finalizou a gol, três vezes. Com um gol nas últimas dez partidas, Pedro tem evoluído e entregado o que o técnico Filipe Luís pede em campo, apesar do leve jejum. Mas suas atuações ainda não dão certeza de que está no ponto ideal para encarar o Chelsea, amanhã, pelo torneio da Fifa. No último jogo, apesar da falha na frente do gol, entregou intensidade suficiente para se […]
Bazball vs the best: Bumrah ready to rock England
The recent Test retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have left India without two legends of the game - or OGs as Jasprit Bumrah has called them - for the series in England, but the tourists will be able to call upon the best all-format bowler in the world.Few, if any, would suggest Bumrah is not that, with his jerky run-up, peculiar angles, swing, control, and array of slower balls and yorkers helping him amass 205 wickets in 45 Tests at an average below 20 and sit atop the ICC bowling rankings in the longest form. Add in over 500 wickets in white-ball games across domestic and international cricket and the 31-year-old has become a legend, or OG, himself. And the bad news for England's 'Bazballers' is that he is feeling fit ahead of the five-Test contest that starts […]

Chris Sale tosses near complete-game shutout as resurgent Braves clinch series against Mets
ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves feel good about their chances of winning whenever Chris Sale is on the mound, so imagine how they felt after staking the reigning Cy Young Award winner to a 3-0 lead in the first inning Wednesday against the New York Mets.Ronald Acuña Jr. homered on the first pitch of the opening inning. That solo shot was all Sale needed as he didn’t give an inch, continuing the dominant stretch of pitching he’s enjoyed by throwing a near complete-game shutout in 5-0 series-clinching win against the NL East-leading Mets.Advertisement“I feel like a broken record about him at this point,” Braves first baseman Matt Olson, who homered in the seventh inning, said. “He’s incredible, he competes his a— off every time he’s on the mound. And you saw what he can do out there tonight.”Sale’s bid for […]
Repercussão da estreia do Fluminense contra Borussia Dortmund facilita internacionalização da marca do clube
O bom desempenho do Fluminense na estreia da Copa do Mundo de Clubes, anteontem, rendeu elogios de jornais do exterior, que apontaram como injusto o placar final de 0 a 0 contra o Borussia Dortmund, e também de técnicos estrangeiros. Se o título ainda é um sonho difícil para os clubes brasileiros, atuações de fôlego diante dos grandes clubes da Europa já são, por si só, capazes de ajudar na tão desejada internacionalização da marca, avaliam especialistas em marketing esportivo.
