Dodgers vs. Angels: Last one before they count
Tuesday is the last Spring Training game of the year, and features Shohei Ohtani on the mound
And just like that, Spring Training is over. Just one game stands between the Dodgers and the start of the 2026 season. In the Freeway series so far, the Dodgers have scored 20 runs, and the high-powered offense looks ready to go.
On the pitching side, Shohei Ohtani also makes his last start before the regular season. Ohtani has only had one start so far this spring, pitching 4. 1 innings, allowing one hit, hitting one batter himself, and striking out four.
His fast ball topped out at 99. 9mph. Shohei pitched 61 pitches in his first outing and should be looking to extend that pitch count to five innings, 75 pitches.
With his start on Tuesday, it slates his first start of the season to be next Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians. Justin Wrobleski was thought to have been a piggyback partner for Ohtani if he didn’t get built up in time, but since Roki Sasaki’s starts have been suboptimal so far this spring, that may not be the case. Jack Kochanowicz will start for the Angels.
