"I'm very honored. Obviously all the hard work has paid off. Maybe next year, I'll get the award again," Ohtani stated, showing gratitude for his achievements.
"Growing up in Japan, I did follow Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods. I would see their accolades and how they were successful in the United States," Ohtani reflected on his inspirations.
"Ohtani won his third Most Valuable Player award and first in the National League, led his new team to its eighth World Series championship and created Major League Baseball's 50/50 club by hitting 54 home runs and stealing 59 bases," highlighting his remarkable season.
"Ohtani signed a then-record $700 million, 10-year contract with the Dodgers in December 2023. Already a two-way superstar, he embellished his reputation further despite not pitching all season due to injury," indicating his significant impact.
