Shohei Ohtani's Expected Dodgers Debut Revealed: Report
Shohei Ohtani has been the talk of the baseball world for years now, but especially this winter. After signing with the Dodgers, Ohtani has made waves throughout baseball like no other.
Fans have been waiting to see the two-way superstar take the field as a member of the Dodgers, and they won't have to wait much longer. Ohtani will be making his Dodgers debut on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale.
"Ohtani is expected to make his Dodgers spring training debut Tuesday at Camelback Ranch. The Dodgers sold out their entire spring training season-ticket package and can't keep Ohtani jerseys on the shelves with the high demand. It may take until mid-summer for the Dodgers to have enough Ohtani jerseys to keep in stock."
When Ohtani steps onto the field, it's expected a roar will ensue from the fans. He is the biggest show in baseball, and his presence alone draws crowds in.
He has been recovering from his torn UCL, but Ohtani has made it clear that his goal is to play In the season opener against the San Diego Padres in Korea. Ohtani's goal has been to take at least 50 at-bats prior to the game so he can feel ready to go.
It shouldn't be an issue for him to get the at-bats, and he is on track to play in the opener. But this game Tuesday won't be a regular Spring Training game, but instead, it will be must-see TV for all involved.
