Ohtani may not contribute defensively, but he is more than just a home run hitter. He is on track to become the first 50-50 player in MLB history. Few of the MLB home run leaders also have a knack for stealing bases. Ohtani leads the NL in homers (44) and ranks second in the Major Leagues in stolen bases (46).
"MVP should be all-encompassing on what is the most valuable. Obviously defense plays a part in that, but if you're that good offensively that you're more valuable, then I think it's okay," Kershaw said to the Orange County Register's Bill Plunkett about a designated hitter winning the award.
