Ohtani, a one-man show, is not a dream to become an MVP and free agent superstar

Shohei Ohtani (29-LA Angels) has been on a roll lately. At this rate, it’s not out of the question that he could win the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award and hit the free agency jackpot.

Ohtani started at second base against the Kansas City Royals in the 2023 Major League Baseball (MLB) World Series at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri (USA) on April 19, going 1-for-4 with a home run, one run scored, and two RBIs.

Ohtani’s only hit of the day was a home run. Trailing 1-2 and batting with two outs in the top of the fifth inning, Ohtani worked a full count against starter Zack Greinke and lifted a six-pitch, 69.7 mph (112.2 km/h) slow curveball over the right-center field fence for a two-run shot.

It was Ohtani’s 24th homer of the season, his second straight after hitting one the day before against Kansas City, and gave him a commanding lead in MLB. He also extended his lead over second-place Pete Alonso (New York Mets-22 homers) to two.

Ohtani’s recent hitting pace has been nothing short of dominant. After hitting 15 home runs last month, Ohtani has hit nine in June. In particular, the water has risen to the point where he has drawn eight arches in his last 10 games.

With 24 homers in 74 games this season,안전놀이터 Ohtani is on pace to mathematically reach 52 homers. If he keeps up the momentum, he’ll surpass the all-time single-season record of 46 home runs. Ohtani was the unanimous American League MVP in 2021 after hitting 46 home runs.

In addition to home runs, Ohtani also leads all of MLB in RBIs (58). His OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage) of 1.016 also leads the league.

The “two-hitter” is also a work in progress. In 14 starts on the mound this season, Ohtani is 6-2 with a 3.29 ERA. He ranks second in strikeouts (105) and first in batting average (.178).

At this point, Ohtani is the favorite to win the American League MVP award. If Ohtani wins the MVP award, which he is eligible to do as a free agent after this season, the competition for his services will become even more intense. Ohtani’s stock continues to soar, with local speculation that he could become the first MLB player to sign a $500 million contract.
