(AP Photo/Jeff Chiu)Shohei Ohtani’s agent says the Los Angeles Angels’ two-way superstar is determined to continue his career as both a pitcher and a hitter after he recovers from his latest elbow injury. Hitters who have Tommy John surgery typically require six to eight months of rehabilitation before they can hit again. But Ohtani’s free agency and his unique value to clubs could dominate conversation in baseball’s early offseason. Ohtani hadn’t complained of any pain in his elbow in the days and weeks before that, Balelo said. Los Angeles is all but certain to miss the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season of Ohtani’s major league career.
