Shohei Ohtani Named 2024 NL MVP Finalist

Ohtani is going to need another arm, let alone another shoulder.

Along with Francisco Lindor and Ketel Marte, the Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani has been named a finalist for the 2024 NL MVP award.

Ohtani was unanimously voted the AL MVP in 2021 and 2023 as a two-way star for the Los Angeles Angels and finished second to Judge in 2022. Ohtani signed a record $700 million, 10-year contract with the Dodgers in December, but he didn't pitch in 2024 following elbow surgery.

Ohtani would join Frank Robinson for the Cincinnati Reds in 1961 and the Baltimore Orioles in 1966 as the only players to win the MVP award in both leagues.
