And in our latest baseball news, Shohei Ohtani added to his postseason prize take Thursday when the Angels two-way star won Players Choice Awards — as casted a ballot by his friends — for Major League Baseball Player of the Year and American League Outstanding Player for 2021.
Dodgers right-hander Max Scherzer, who was obtained in a July 30 exchange from the Washington Nationals, was named National League Outstanding pitcher.
Ohtani was regarded before Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday with the Commissioner’s Historic Achievement Award for his exceptional two-way execution this season, when he hit 46 homers and drove in 100 runs as a hitter and went 9-2 with a 3.18 ERA in 23 beginnings as a pitcher.
Shohei Ohtani’s career
The left-gave hitting slugger hit .257 with a .965 on-base-in addition to slugging rate, 26 copies, eight triples, 103 runs and 26 taken bases. The right-hander joined a triple-digit fastball with a terrible split-fingered pitch to strike out 156 and walk 44 out of 130 1/3 innings.
Ohtani defeated Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who hit .311 with a 1.002 OPS, a significant association tying 48 homers and 111 RBIs, and Philadelphia Phillies slugger Bryce Harper, who hit .309 with a 1.044 OPS, 35 homers, 42 copies and 84 RBIs, for the exceptional player grant.
Ohtani, who turned into the main player to be chosen to — and start — the All-Star game as a pitcher and hitter, beat down Guerrero and Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez, who hit .273 with an .859 OPS, 48 homers and 121 RBIs, for the AL remarkable player grant.
