Shohei Ohtani's Unprecedented MVP Journey: A Historic Feat for Baseball and the Los Angeles Dodgers
Shohei Ohtani is set to make history as a finalist for the NL MVP, likely winning unanimously after a record-breaking 2023 season as a designated hitter. This achievement places him alongside Frank Robinson as only the second player to win MVP in both leagues, and the first full-time DH to claim the title.
Explore the dynamics of the MVP Award's history and the surprising trends in the Manager of the Year accolades. Despite leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to the best record in baseball, Dave Roberts was overlooked for the NL Manager of the Year, sparking a discussion on the award's criteria. The Dodgers' resilience through injuries under Roberts' leadership is also highlighted.
Join us for an engaging analysis of Ohtani's remarkable season and the Dodgers' 2023 triumphs. Listen now for unique insights into these game-changing narratives.
