Following the spirit of winning the World Series, he is set to receive an individual award. It is time to taste the fruits of autumn.
Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers took the first step toward winning the individual award in November. Ohtani has been named as two finalists for the Silver Slugger National League's designated hitter category, which was announced on Tuesday. Ohtani will compete with Marcel Osuna of the Atlanta Braves. The Silver Slugger is an award given by the MLB Secretariat every year to players who display the best attack power in each position in the American League and the National League. The winners will be announced on Wednesday.
"For the first time in MLB history, Otani had more than 50 homers (54 homers) and more than 50 steals (59 steals), which was a memorable season," MLB's official website said. "Statistically, I was with Ohtani at one point, but Ohtani separated me from him. He hit 39 homers." Ohtani is expected to win the title easily.
In the Dodgers, five players, including Will Smith (29) in the catcher category, Freddie Freeman (35) in the first baseman category, Teoscar Hernandez (32) in the outfield category, and Mookie Betts (32) in the utility category, were nominated.
Starting with Silver Slugger, Ohtani will start enjoying a rich autumn season. In 159 games this season, Ohtani had a batting average of 0.310, 54 homers, 130 RBIs, 134 runs scored, 197 hits and 59 steals, and 0.390 OPS. He is certain to win the MVP award, his third and first since moving to the LA Dodgers. He will likely rewrite the history of MVP, which has never been awarded to a designated hitter full-time.
Ohtani is then expected to join the All-MLB First Team. He is also likely to receive the Edgar Martinez Award, which is given to the best designated hitter. Ohtani is also certain to receive the Hank Aaron Award, which is given to the batter who showed the best productivity in the two leagues.
Starting with the 2018 American League Rookie of the Year award, Ohtani was named MVP in 2021 and last year. He also won the Silver Slugger in the same year. Ohtani also received the Edgar Martinez Award for the third consecutive year from 2021, and was listed as both a pitcher and a batter on the ALL-MLB First Team. 안전놀이터
