Ohtani was unanimously voted the AL MVP in 2021 and 2023 as a two-way star for the Los Angeles Angels, and finished second to Judge in 2022 voting. He underwent elbow surgery in 2024 and signed a record $700 million, 10-year contract with the Dodgers.
Ohtani would become the first player to win the MVP award in both the AL and NL. He hit .310, stole 59 bases and led the NL with 54 homers and 130 RBIs as a designated hitter, becoming the first player with 50 or more homers and 50 or more stolen bases in a season. He helped the Dodgers to the World Series title, playing through pain with a torn labrum in his left shoulder.
In addition, Ohtani would become the first primary DH to win an MVP award.
In Monday night's announcement of the top three finishers in voting for each of the major individual awards, Ohtani would become the 12th player with three or more MVPs, joining Barry Bonds (seven), Jimmie Foxx, Joe DiMaggio, Stan Musial, Roy Campanella, Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, Mike Schmidt, Alex Rodriguez, Albert Pujols and Mike Trout.
Lindor batted .273 with 33 homers, 91 RBIs and 29 steals, while Marte hit .292 with 36 homers and 95 RBIs. Judge led the majors with 58 homers, 144 RBIs and 133 walks while hitting .322. Witt led the big leagues with a .332 average, hitting 32 homers with 109 RBIs. Soto batted .288 with 41 homers and 109 RBIs.
Meanwhile, Chris Sale and Zack Wheeler are NL Cy Young Award finalists along with Pittsburgh's Paul Skenes, who made his big league debut May 11 and went on to make 23 starts with a 1.96 ERA and strikeout rate of 170 in 133 innings. In addition to Skubal, Kansas City's Seth Lugo and Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase are AL finalists for the award. Clase becomes the first reliever to finish among the top three in voting since San Diego's Trevor Hoffman came in second in 2006 NL balloting.
Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill and Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio joined Skenes as finalists for NL Rookie of the Year. Meanwhile, Yankees right-hander Luis Gil and catcher Austin Wells are AL finalists along with Baltimore outfielder Colton Cowser.
Meanwhile, Stephen Vogt, Matt Quatraro and A.J. Hinch are finalists for AL Manager of the Year. Meanwhile, three NL finalists were all first-year managers: Carlos Mendoza of the Mets, Pat Murphy of the Brewers and Mike Shildt of the Padres.
