Dave Roberts: Shohei Ohtani is NL MVP over Kyle Schwarber in 'landslide'
"Ohtani went 4-for-12 with a double, two home runs, two RBI and two walks in the three-game series at Dodger Stadium. The right-hander also pitched five no-hit innings during the middle game of the series, showcasing again why he is one of the most unique players in MLB history. Ohtani, who has already won three MVP Awards in his career, could add a fourth to his total this year. His biggest competition figures to be Kyle Schwarber, who went 2-for-11 with a home run and RBI in three games against the Dodgers."
"In 149 games this season, Ohtani is hitting .282/.394/.614 with 22 doubles, eight triples, 51 home runs, 95 RBI and 19 stolen bases over 687 plate appearances. He leads the NL in runs scored (137), on-base percentage and slugging percentage. Meanwhile, Schwarber is batting .243/.370/.567 with 21 doubles, two triples, 53 home runs, 128 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 684 plate appearances (153 games)."
Shohei Ohtani produced a standout two-way performance against the Philadelphia Phillies, delivering four hits, two home runs and five no-hit innings in the three-game series at Dodger Stadium. Ohtani has already earned three MVP awards and is positioned to contend for a fourth, with Kyle Schwarber as his primary challenger in the NL. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts endorsed Ohtani as the NL MVP while cautioning about potential voter fatigue. Across 149 games, Ohtani posts a .282/.394/.614 slash line with 51 homers, 95 RBI, 19 steals and leads the league in runs, OBP and SLG.
