Shohei Ohtani displayed resilience in his latest outing against the Kansas City Royals, overcoming early challenges to deliver an impressive performance. Despite a rocky start, where he allowed a hit to Bobby Witt Jr. and a walk to Maikel Garcia, Ohtani quickly regained his composure. He fired off three straight fastballs, reaching a blistering 101.7 mph to secure an inning-ending double play against Vinnie Pasquantino.

In four innings, Ohtani allowed just one run on three hits while showcasing his elite velocity and an arsenal of off-speed pitches. Even though the Dodgers fell 9-5, Ohtani's resilience and velocity suggest he is finding his form following Tommy John surgery. Meanwhile, the rest of the Dodgers struggled against Royals' pitcher Seth Lugo, leaving fans eager for Ohtani's continued development as he aims to return to full strength.
