"I do believe Shohei Ohtani is the [NL] MVP at this point," Heyman said. "Right now, with [Mookie] Betts having missed two months, the other guys having great years being DHs also like Marcell Ozuna. [Therefore], I do believe that Ohtani is the MVP in the National League."
Ohtani is on pace for a monster season - his first with the Dodgers and in the National League. He's also doing everything while recovering from his second Tommy John surgery.
If he were to capture the hardware, it would make all sorts of baseball history. It would be his third MVP win which would tie him with Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez, Mike Schmidt and others.
Entering Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers, Ohtani leads the NL in several categories including runs (90), home runs (37), slugging (.623), OPS (1.007), OPS+ (180), and total bases (287).
