No matter what Shohei Ohtani does, it’s headline-worthy in the world of baseball. The Dodgers' superstar recently made his first appearance on the mound this season and continues to perform as one of the game’s most elite hitters.

The day that the Dodgers have been waiting for since they signed Shohei Ohtani to a then-record contract is nearly here: Ohtani's first start as a pitcher in a Dodgers uniform is set for Monday night against the Padres.

Shohei Ohtani already had Dodgers fans on their feet before the team began their matchup with the Padres on Wednesday.
