TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) Star two-way player Shohei Ohtani struggled in his spring pitching debut with the Los Angeles Angels, allowing a home run and lasting a few batters less than scheduled.
The Japanese phenom didn’t bat Saturday against Milwaukee.
Ohtani allowed two runs, one earned, and two hits in 1 1-3 innings. Keon Broxton tagged him for a home run leading off the second inning.
The right-hander struck out two and walked one. He threw 31 pitches, 17 strikes. He had been scheduled to go two innings.
The 23-year-old Ohtani spent five seasons with the Nippon Ham Fighters before signing with the Angels as an international free agent on Dec. 10.
