A thick scar runs along the right arm of Shohei Ohtani. Further proof lingers beneath the skin, too.'I would hope that you would say: “This looks like a normal ligament…”' says Dr Neal ElAttrache, the surgeon trusted to put Ohtani and many of sport's biggest stars back together.

That scar will fade and, in time, the sole giveaway will only be visible via MRI.
