Los Angeles Angels two-way player Shohei Ohtani made further progress in his recovery from a right elbow injury, throwing curveballs in a bullpen session on Saturday for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery last October.
"I felt good throwing. I think it will be a plus to throw without being nervous," Ohtani said.
Ohtani mixed in around 10 curveballs during his 10th post-operative bullpen session as Angels manager Brad Ausmus looked on. His fastball clocked 85 mph (about 137 kph).
