Shohei Ohtani hasn't stepped on the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers yet -- and won't for a while after getting elbow surgery last September -- but he already is helping the team with its pitching.
Recruitment pitching, that is.
The two-way sensation was joined by Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and more during the Dodgers' presentation to Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Tuesday, The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya and Ken Rosenthal reported.
Ohtani already did the Dodgers a favor by deferring almost all of the money in his historic 10-year, $700 million contract to 2034. The goal was to help the Dodgers reel in more talent, and it appears Ohtani is wasting no time assisting in that effort.
