    Ohtani Tommy Johns

    They said its looking more and more likely. That sucks he was kicking ass this year and was a hell of alot of fun to watch. Angels needed him too they are finished now.

    Haven't seen anything other than sprained UCL that they will treat with PRP. This happened to him before I believe. American league is weak so Angels can still make the playoffs.

    I heard there's a possibility he could just hit the rest of the year, holding off on surgery until around October. Have the Tommy John surgery, rest during the off-season, and be ready to hit again come 2019. Take the entire year off from pitching, and be ready to pitch again in 2020.

    I'm not sure if this will happen, but it's a possibility.

    I knew this would happen. This isn't the 30s anymore. These guys aren't built to pitch without not doing shit for 5 days after. Such a shame, too...I love pitchers that can hit. I was a big Micah Owings fan, not that he's anywhere near the slugger Ohtani is.

    Good, I had Ohtani the batter in fantasy, and I can't wait for a reason to drop him.

    Missed out on fantasy baseball this year. I was wondering how that was going to work with him. So essentially he's two different players? Lol.

    Yeah, and can only play Utility! I kept him because he was hitting 1.000+ OPS and crushing it, and maybe for keeper value. Wouldn't play half the time though, and couldn't use him when he pitched. He gone now.

    Love that most will attribute the injury to playing both ways, when it’s very common injury for pitchers anyways

    Agree this is not caused by his hitting.

    LOL

    hes done pitching- forever

    Rare exception could be blow out mop duty

    Experiment failed

    Smoky Joe Wood all over again

    Best athletes in HS baseball are all pitchers, theres a reason they don't hit and vice versa....the game has evolved into a specialists and extreme version of its origins

    They should make an exception for him and pump the guy full of PEDs. Not like Babe Ruth was clean.
