"As a hitter alone he led the National League by a wide margin in OPS (1.014) and slugging percentage (.622), was second in on-base percentage (.392) and, despite being outside the top 10 in batting average (.282, ranking 13th), set a career high with 55 home runs, trailing only Philadelphia's Kyle Schwarber for the crown. His 7.5 wins above replacement, according to Fangraphs, just outpaced Arizona's Geraldo Perdomo and Philadelphia's Trea Turner for most in the league."
"Shohei Ohtani won his fourth MVP award, joining only Barry Bonds in surpassing three as he cements his case for greatest player ever. The Dodgers star led the National League in OPS and slugging percentage while returning from elbow surgery to pitch effectively. His postseason brilliance included an NLCS Game 4 masterpiece and helped the Dodgers capture their second straight World Series title."
