Los Angeles Dodgers two-way player Shohei Ohtani talked to Padres third baseman Manny Machado about his checked swing during his pitching debut in Monday's game.

It had been 663 days between pitching appearances, depriving baseball fans of the famed wicked four-seam fastball and splitter that they have marveled at from the sport’s most unique player.

Ohtani made his long-awaited Dodgers pitching debut last night against the San Diego Padres, going one inning with one earned run allowed on two hits, zero strikeouts, and zero walks.
