"Notably, he captured all 30 first-place votes yet again, giving him four unanimous wins in all four of his MVP Awards, two of which came in 2021 and 2023 with the Angels. Since the MVP Awards were handed out in their current format back in 1931, there have only been 24 unanimously selected, and Shohei now has four of those, including being the only player to have done so more than once."
"As you may have figured, Shohei has also now won three MVP awards in a row. Only one other player has done that: Barry Bonds, who won four in a row from 2001-04. Bonds is also the only other player with more than three, pacing the all-time list with seven. Ohtani has now finished first or second in the past five MVP elections, tying the record shared by Bonds and Trout."
Shohei Ohtani won the 2025 National League MVP unanimously and helped the Dodgers win another World Series. He received all 30 first-place votes, bringing his career total to four unanimous MVP wins and establishing a unique place in voting history. Ohtani secured his third straight MVP and has finished first or second in five consecutive MVP elections. He resumed two-way play in 2025 while delivering elite offensive numbers, leading the league in multiple categories and posting top-tier WAR. He also ramped up pitching during the season and finished with strong late-season performances on the mound.
