Shohei Ohtani was outstanding in his 2026 pitching debut, throwing six scoreless innings in the rain at Dodger Stadium.
Ohtani was efficient against the Guardians, needing just 87 pitches to work through six innings. The right-hander had six strikeouts on the night, surrendering just one hit and walking three batters. His breaking pitches had plenty of life to them, responsible for all six of his strikeouts and frequently fooling Cleveland’s batters. His fastball had a lot of zip, too, reaching as high as 98 mph throughout the game.
