Ohtani received the award for a performance against the Milwaukee Brewers, where he hit three home runs and pitched six scoreless innings, striking out 10 batters, in Game 4 of the 2025 National League Championship Series.
Ohtani has played a key role in leading the Dodgers to back-to-back World Series championships.
He was the league’s leading vote-getter but withdrew from the MLB All-Star Game this week due to inflammation and irritation in his left knee. The discomfort in the knee impacted his pitching mechanics, and he was recently pulled from a scheduled start for the Dodgers.
This season, he has 98 hits, 65 runs, 22 home runs and 58 RBIs in 88 games played. On the mound, he’s produced an 8-2 record in 14 starts, allowing 55 hits, 21 runs (17 earned runs) and four home runs. He has struck out 95 and walked 26.
