Shohei Ohtani, arguably the biggest one-of-a-kind talent in baseball history, will finally get to showcase his skills on the pitching mound for the Dodgers.

The Dodgers announced the two-way star will take the mound Monday, June 16 against the San Diego Padres. The announcement came shortly after Roberts told reporters there was a "high possibility" of him pitching during the four-game series against the division rival, adding it would occur in an opener role for a bullpen game.
