The Los Angeles Angels' Shohei Ohtani has been voted the majors’ best designated hitter for the second consecutive season.
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Shohei Ohtani has been voted the majors' best designated hitter for the second consecutive season.
The Los Angeles Angels' two-way slugger won the Edgar Martinez Outstanding Designated Hitter Award on Monday, beating out Houston's Yordan Alvarez as the top player at the position in 2022. Ohtani, who won the AL MVP award unanimously in 2021 and finished second in the MVP voting this season, is the first player to win the designated hitter trophy in back-to-back years since David Ortiz won it five consecutive times from 2003-07.
Ohtani batted .273 with 34 homers, 95 RBI, 11 stolen bases and a .875 OPS that was good for 10th in the majors. He led all designated hitters with at least 100 at-bats in hits, runs, total bases, triples, homers, RBI and walks, while his six multi-homer games tied Troy Glaus' franchise record with the Angels. Ohtani also had an 18-game hitting streak during the season.
