Shohei Ohtani's agent, Nez Balelo, addressed the media Monday regarding his client's torn UCL that will prevent him from pitching for the rest of the 2023 season and throughout the 2024 campaign.
Balelo told reporters a surgical procedure is "inevitable," although he did not specify whether it would be another Tommy John surgery. The Los Angeles Angels star, who is headed into free agency this offseason, has already undergone Tommy John surgery in his career.
The thing that makes Ohtani so unique is his ability to both hit and pitch at such a high level.
