Shohei Ohtani is done pitching for the year, but that doesn't mean he's done for the year.
, but that doesn't mean he's done for the year.
Ohtani exited his start Wednesday with what the team called arm fatigue, but his torn UCL diagnosis was announced later that night. Ohtani didn't remain in the game then as a designated hitter, but did hit in the second leg of the day's doubleheader. He's now seeking second opinions regarding Tommy John surgery.
Ohtani was set to enter free agency this offseason and shatter the record for MLB's richest contract, currently held by Angels teammate Mike Trout and his 12-year, $426.5 million deal. Ohtani has enough value as a hitter that he could still very well match that contract, but teams could be apprehensive about paying him like a true two-way superstar.
