Shohei Ohtani's spring training pitching debut is one that he'll file under "learning curve.''

Ohtani took the mound with a "B'' lineup in the field behind him in Saturday's game between the Angels and Brewers. He labored with his control and threw 31 pitches -- only 17 of them strikes -- before departing with one out in the top of the second inning and the score tied 2-2.
