Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Angels) pitched six innings (97 pitches) against the Seattle Mariners on August 15, 2012. He gave up 2 runs on 7 hits and 8 strikeouts in 6 innings (97 pitches), but was unable to win the game. He also allowed only one hit in four at-bats with one strikeout in the team’s 2-6 loss.

The manager naturally gave his blessing to the two-way star as the “MVP” for the second year in a row.

According to the Orange County Register, prior to the game, Angels’ acting manager Phil Nevin said of Ohtani, “What our guy is doing is something nobody else is doing. He then gave his personal opinion on the American League MVP race with Aaron Judge (New York Yankees).

Furthermore, Nevin, who was the Yankees’ third base coach for four years starting in 2018, praised both men for their successes, but still pushed for Ohtani to win the MVP award. He said, “He’s one of the top Cy Young Award candidates, and he’s one of the best hitters in the game. He is one of the best Cy Young Award candidates, and he is also one of the best hitters in the game.

Ohtani, who has hit 26 homers and won 10 games, and Judge, who has hit 46 homers and driven in 100 runs. Who will win the “highest player honor” this season? We will continue to watch the race with great interest.
