All eyes were on Shohei Ohtani's Dodgers pitching debut on Monday night. And even though the box score is nothing worth writing home about -- a one-inning stint as an opener doesn't tell you much of anything -- every baseball fan should be excited after Ohtani's start.

Ippei Mizuhara reported to federal prison on Monday to begin his 5-year sentence, as Shohei Ohtani made his long-awaited return to pitching.

Shoehi Ohtani’s debut wasn’t perfect, but it also could have gone a lot worse. After not pitching in nearly two years, the Japanese right-hander clearly showed signs of rust and lack of command in his first big league action of the season.

Monday's game between the Dodgers and Padres, which featured Shohei Ohtani’s long-awaited return to the mound, delivered record viewership on MLB.TV.

Ahead of his return to the mound, and Dodgers pitching debut, the two-way sensation continues to showcase his unique greatness.

Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani, who have combined to win five of the last eight Most Valuable Player awards, are lapping the rest of Major League Baseball in the first batch of All-Star Game balloting.
