Ohtani has now earned the honor in four straight seasons after he was named the top designated hitter from 2021-23 with the Los Angeles Angels. His latest win doesn’t come as a large surprise, as he was already selected as a finalist for the National League MVP award following his stellar inaugural year on the Dodgers.
With his fourth win, Ohtani only trails Baseball Hall of Fame members David Ortiz (eight) and Martinez (five) for the most victories since the award was implemented in 1973.
