"I expect nothing short of almost a Cy Young out of him. Ohtani has been in the 'almost' category for a Cy Young before, placing fourth in the American League's Cy Young vote in 2022."
"He wants a Cy Young, and you can tell with the way he's carrying himself here recently. Ohtani made his first appearance as a pitcher for the Dodgers against the San Diego Padres on June 16, 2025."
Shohei Ohtani made an impressive start to the 2026 season, allowing only one hit in six innings against the Cleveland Guardians and striking out six batters. He has a 22.2-inning scoreless streak, the longest of his career. Max Muncy expects Ohtani to be a top contender for the NL Cy Young award, while teammates note his desire to achieve this goal. Ohtani previously placed fourth in the AL Cy Young voting in 2022 and had a successful return to pitching after Tommy John surgery in 2025.
