A national reporter calls Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani the NL MVP.
The Los Angeles Dodgers star has been a top contender for the MVP award all year, despite playing exclusively as the team's designated hitter for the duration of the season. Ohtani, who normally both hits and pitches, is rehabilitating his right elbow from a torn UCL and expects to pitch again next season.
"I do believe Shohei Ohtani is the MVP at this point, would be the first full-time DH to win MVP ... with Betts having missed two months, the other guys having great years being DH's also, I do believe Ohtani is the MVP in the National League," New York Post reporter Jon Heyman said onOhtani is off to another outstanding season, slashing .297/.385/.623 with 137 hits, 90 runs, 37 home runs, 86 RBIs, and 33 stolen bases through 117 games.
If Ohtani were to win the award, it would be the third time he has taken home an MVP award in MLB, and his first NL MVP award. Ohtani previously won American League MVP awards while he played for the Los Angeles Angels, winning the coveted award in 2021 and 2023.
