With Shohei Ohtani inching closer to a historic 50-50 season and only a few weeks left in the regular season, it is time to seriously think about whether the Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter will win his fourth Most Valuable Player award.
If he does, he would become the first exclusive designated hitter to win the award and it would also be his first in the National League.
MLB on FOX analyst and Baseball Hall of Famer John Smoltz shared his thoughts about Ohtani and his race for history.
“It’s going to be hard to pass Ohtani based on what he’s doing,” said Smoltz.
