The post Dodgers Linked With Cy Young Winner Amid Shohei Ohtani Pitching Boost Ahead of MLB Trade Deadline appeared first on EssentiallySports.

"Yeah, it changed quite a bit," Ohtani told the Japanese media, according to a translation from DodgersBeat. "My arm slot dropped, and that was mainly due to better coordination with my lower body. At this stage, we felt that lowering the angle would give us the best results, so it happened naturally."

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani made his long-awaited return to the mound on Monday night, throwing one inning against the San Diego Padres (GameTracker). It was Ohtani's first appearance as a pitcher since Aug.
