Ohtani, often compared to MLB great Babe Ruth because of his ability to pitch and hit at an elite level, was the unanimous pick over the Toronto Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Marcus Semien in voting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.
“This is my first time winning MVP so that is special alone but getting it unanimously makes it that much more special and helps me get more motivated to keep on putting up good numbers next season.” The Tokyo Tower will be illuminated in Los Angeles Angels colors on Friday to celebrate Ohtani’s accomplishment, MLB said in a statement.
On the mound he overwhelmed batters with a 100 mph fastball and was speedster on the base path stealing 26 bases.
