What an absolutely amazing year. Coming off Tommy John surgery in the offseason.......he defies expectations and breaks all kinds of team and MLB records while leading the LAD to a WS Championship. Becoming the first player to go 50/50. Becoming the first DH to win an MVP. Becoming the first player to ever win 3 unanimous MVP's. Just......Wow!
Most people forget that Ohtani didn't just have a 50/50 year. He led the NL in HR, OPS, RBI.....and also Runs scored. And he came soooooooo close to winning the Triple Crown.
Shohei will be the MVP for as long as he's doing what he's doing. Whether he wins it or not is another story. I suspect he'll be snubbed a few times just because nobody wants to see one person get it all the time.
Everyone, including reporters who vote for MVP, knows the difference between Ohtani and other DHs (such as Ozuna or Papi in the past). Ohtani serves as a DH because he rests his body between pitching starts (when healthy), and this year he was rehabbing. In contrast, others became DHs after failing as field defenders. When Ohtani eventually stops pitching, which may come sooner than one thinks, he will probably become a plus right fielder, given his speed and arm. That's another reason Mookie should be converted to second base. 😀
Acuña is my guy, but I agree with Kratz on that. Granted, I think Acuña has 50/50 in him, while playing good D (if he spends any amount of time focusing on that/trusts his knees). And, if you ignore Ohtani's pitching, you could make a case for Ronald, lol. But, you can't ignore the pitching. GOAT
should have won mvp instead of judge simply because judge used juiced balls and didnt even break the roided record to which he should have been compared... 62* homers
How many of those MVP were due to juiced though. Juiced Barry Bonds is the greatest hitter I have ever seen, he would out homer both Ohtani and Judge together if he was given the same pitches they got.
@@Shakazulu6.1 You make it seems like Bonds was playing in the 1920’s or 1930’s. Bonds played 20-25 years ago, that much hasn’t changed since. The juiced Barry Bonds that we saw would do the same damage he did in 2000.

He is the first to win 2 unanimous MVPs and now the first to win 3 unanimous MVPs
It took a historic home run season for Judge to take the 4th MVP away from Shohei.
@@George-f8hiirc that MVP is not unanimous also, since ohtani got a first place vote leaving judge with 29
Ohtani is the goat.

Ohtani has set the bar so high that other players are now getting pity points just because they are not Ohtani.
Congrats to Judge and Ohtani. Both are a piñata’s worst nightmare
Goatani 🐐
ohtani will fight every game to win at least 3-5 world series MVP.

Yup. Watch Big Papi play 1st base was scary. 😂😂😂
I started watching baseball bcuz of othanie GOaT

I disagree with Kratz about Ozuna, though. Thank you, Cam!
Good defense and Acuna doesn't belong in the same sentence.
@@pradayou5405 Sometimes he makes plays that make you wonder why he doesn't play D consistently. I hear you, though

The only player who got more than 3 MVPs was that steroid cheater which doesn't count. That makes Shohei already the best player ever.
I was hoping they’d rob Ohtani of his MVP so we can have something to talk about. A player that did 50/50 and no MVP 😂.
Bonds won 7 MVP'S. HE SHOULD'VE WON 8 OR EVEN 9 IF HE WASN'T SUCH A WANKER!!! 😂
Drugs probably helped with those?

I never knew there were such things as IFs, BUTs, WOULDAs, SHOULDAs, and COULDAs in baseball.
These guys are clean and adjusting to faster balls with more pitch types.
