The Los Angeles Dodgers have a particular fondness for the 1080 Sprint among all the equipment they utilize for training.

The apparatus is a transportable training tool that slows players down while they practice quick-twitch movements and straight-line sprints by fastening a motorized wire to a harness fastened around their waist.

Shohei Ohtani shocked everyone last spring by smashing the machine when he strapped on. He cut the cord.

Special assistant Ron Roenicke laughed at the moment, but not in a funny way, but in wonder.

“He’s just so powerful, with strength and quickness,” Roenicke remarked a few days later, her expression of incredulity remaining intact. “They definitely observe that in the NFL. However, that is uncommon in baseball, especially with that kind of strength and speed. It is distinct. A different athlete, that’s him.With less than a month until Opening Day, Ohtani might improve his output and power this season by concentrating solely on hitting. Ohtani is expected to have a season with 40 home runs and 40 steals, something that has only happened five other times in MLB history.
