Shohei Ohtani will "soon" begin throwing from a mound as he continues to make his way back from Tommy John surgery.

The Los Angeles Angels' two-way star has already been throwing long toss.

Ohtani hasn't pitched in a regular season game since 2018, when he tore his ulnar collateral ligament. He started 10 games, compiling a 3.31 ERA and 2.86 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 51 innings.
