50/50, dodgers franchise leader in single season home runs runs, mvp and a World Series championship in year one. Couldn’t have written it better
As much as I would have loved Mookie to be the second ever AL/NL MVP last year, I’ll absolutely take Shohei doing it this year.
Damn he was only a DH I think that might hurt his case
THE GREATEST THERE IS, THE GREATEST THERE WAS AND THE GREATEST THERE EVER WILL BE!!!
Long shot given just a DH. Would need to have a pretty remarkable record breaking, history setting season to win it….oh wait
“Pitcher while rehabbing accomplishes first ever 50/50 season en route to title”
“Frankie Lindor (almost) carries mets to long awaited title”
“From worst to first!…. And back? Marte unable to carry snakes back to playoffs”
Now who you voting for? lol
Obviously Shohei should win. But I’ll be curious to see if it’s unanimous. I remember watching the Chris Rose/Trevor Plouffe podcast (I forget the name) a few months ago and they had Katie Woo on as a guest.
I believe she covers the Cardinals, but she gets an MVP vote so someone asked her, “who ya voting for?” And while she’s not allowed to say directly, she implied “I can’t bring myself to vote for a DH so we’ll see.” Granted, her opinion may have changed since then as he was probably “only” around 30/30 at the time, but I imagine some older school voters will have similar reservations about voting for a DH, even if he’s one of a kind and deserves it.
lmao watch Marte’s weak ass win this, they hate us out West
1. Ohtani (MVP)
2. Lindor (runner up)
3. Marte
Landslide Victory for Shohei
Ma pussss ya con los puros HR se la lleva el 17
No contest. Shotime baby.
The first DH to win the MVP. I hope it’s unanimous, again.

This has a chance to be the third unanimous MVP for Shohei too 😂🏆 🐐
Thats crazy i didnt expect this
Aaron judge is our mvp!☆☆☆
“who are the other two” ?
• Achieved the first-ever 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases (50-50) season in MLB history. • Won the National League home run title. • Claimed the National League RBI title. • Became the first Japanese player in MLB history to achieve a “Triple-Three” (batting Average.310,30 home runs and 30 stolen bases in a season). • Surpassed Hideki Matsui’s record of 176 career home runs by a Japanese player in the MLB. • Broke the record for the most home runs by an Asian player in MLB history, surpassing Shin-Soo Choo’s 218 career home runs. • Batting Average: .310 • At-Bats: 636 • Hits: 197 • Home Runs: 54 • RBIs (Runs Batted In): 130 • Stolen Bases: 59
Slugging percentage: .646 OPS: 1.036 RISP: .283
I wonder who’s going to win
Ohtani is so OP in every games this season.
The fact that Shohei was with the Angels since 2018 and they went nowhere, then wins WS his first year (out of potential 10) as a Dodger. His destiny was always with the Dodgers.
How tf is ketel marte vs Shohei even a debate?
There are too many MVPs. But is it considered as a true MVP?
This should be unanimous for Ohtani, he was a fucking monster.
No disrespect to Lindor and Marte, but there shouldn’t be any nominations for this and just straight up announce Shohei.
He reached 50/50. It’s a lock. Just like how Judge beat him out in 2022 by breaking the HR record with 62.
Something tells me that they’ll snub Ohtani just because.
I don’t think anyone’s losing any sleep over what to do with their NL MVP vote this year
Comparing ohtani to the other two doesn’t even measure up, cmon.
