Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani was honored at the 2022 ESPY Awards Wednesday evening, earning a pair of award for Best Male Athlete and Best MLB Player. He was joined by Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who also took home two awards for Best NFL Player and Best Championship Performance.
He's coming off one of the best seasons in big league history, dominating both on the mound and at the plate. He finished the year with a 9-2 record, 156 strikeouts and a 3.18 ERA, to go along with a .257 average, 46 homers and 100 RBIs. Along with his MVP, Ohtani also earned a Silver Slugger and his first of two All-Star Game selections.
Ohtani's counterpart for Best Female Athlete was Katie Ledecky, who won four gold medals at the 2022 World Championships. His second award of the night also comes on the back of a stellar showing, after he had eight grabs for two touchdowns and 92 yards in Super Bowl LVI, in which the Rams topped the Cincinnati Bengals in front of the SoFi Stadium crowd.
