6 years agoLos Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow) was able to stretch his throwing progression out to 80 feet, manager Brad Ausmus said on Monday. He was able to throw 60 times, including 20 throws from 70 to 80 feet, and he also hit on the field. The two-way phenom is making good progress in his return from an elbow injury, although he will not appear on the mound in 2019. The team didn't believe he'd return before May, and he still might not, but he is definitely ramping up his activity. His speed and power makes him a must-start fantasy option when healthy.--Daniel Dobish
