Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani was named starting pitcher for the team's season opener against the Oakland Athletics on March 30.
If Ohtani works on five days’ rest, he would be in line to start the last game of their first trip in Seattle on April 5. But Nevin said there’s also a scenario Ohtani could start the Angels home opener against the Toronto Blue Jays on April 7.Nevin said he spoke with Ohtani about being the opening day starter Thursday morning, after Ohtani finished his morning news conference.
Ohtani is the first Angels pitcher to start consecutive seasons since Jered Weaver’s run of six consecutive starts from 2010 to 2015. Moore spent last season with the Rangers, the team that transitioned him into a full-time relief pitcher. He gave up just 16 earned runs, including three home runs, walked 38 batters and struck out 83 over 63 games .
“My prep going into last season was like, we want to get more out each pitch closer to what I’m capable of doing more often,” he said.MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred and Chicago White Sox’s Mike Clevinger addressed Clevinger’s domestic violence allegations on Wednesday in Phoenix.
