In 2021, for the first time, Shohei Ohtani demonstrated the ability to throw well and hit well at the same time. He became a star.
In 2022, he has regressed a bit at bat, but he took a mark on the mound.
The question we ask ourselves: does the Angels player deserve the MVP again this year under the circumstances?
After all, no one can do like him. Nobody.
That said, in 2021, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had an extraordinary season, but in 2022, Aaron Judge has a historic season. It’s not the same thing and it revives the MVP debate.
Several people (including me) think that the Judge should be the MVP and Ohtani also has his say. According to him, he is having a better season than last year.
Why? Because the star is showing more consistency than in the past.
He’s had bigger lows in 2021 and even though he has fewer homers this year, he likes his stick. And on the mound, no need to tell you that he took a big step.
It’s good for baseball, all that. To see two stars take baseball to the top is good for everyone, we’ll tell each other.
Only remains to give a good club around Ohtani.
