Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani smacks solo homer in first spring at-bat.
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- As much as Shohei Ohtani relished the opposite-field home run he crushed Friday night in his first at-bat this spring, the reigning National League MVP left the Los Angeles Dodgers' 6-5 win over the Los Angeles Angels feeling even better about how his surgically repaired left shoulder withstood its biggest test yet.
"Regardless of the results, I think the biggest takeaway was being able to go through my three at-bats without any issues," Ohtani said through interpreter Will Ireton. "Physically, it felt really good."
