Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge Win MVP Awards

Shohei Ohtani won his third Most Valuable Player (MVP) award and first in the National League, becoming the second player in history to win the MVP in both leagues and the first to do so in back-to-back seasons. Ohtani received all 30 first-place votes, totaling 420 points, while Aaron Judge was named the American League MVP for the second time, also as a unanimous selection. Ohtani's remarkable season included leading the NL with 54 home runs and 130 RBIs, while becoming the first player to achieve 50 homers and 50 stolen bases in a single season. His performance helped the Los Angeles Dodgers secure the World Series title, despite playing through a torn labrum. Ohtani had previously won the AL MVP in 2021 and 2023, setting a record for the most unanimous MVP wins in Major League history. Both players are now seen as leading figures in their respective leagues, with Ohtani's historic achievements further solidifying his legacy in baseball.
