Otani remains a finalist, but the judge wins the battle between the three
On the 4th (Japan’s 5th time), the Major League Players Association announced the “Player of the Year” by voting between the players and Aaron of the Yankees who scored 62 home runs in one season, which is a new record for the American League・ The external judge has been selected. Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani was one of the finalists, but did not win the award for the second consecutive year.
Also on the shortlist for Player of the Year was Cardinals infielder Paul Goldschmidt, who had 35 homers and 115 RBI, and the judges won a three-way contest.
This season, Ohtani is a pitcher with a 15-9 record and an earned average of 2.33. He threw 166 innings, becoming the first major league pitcher to reach the required innings and scoring 219 strikeouts, finishing third in the league. He averages 273 beats with 34 homers and 95 RBI. It was the first time since 1903, when the World Series began, to achieve the “double rule” of throwing and hitting.
