Not that it's a major award or anything, but did y'all see where Ohtani was awarded the Edgar Martinez Award for the best DH in baseball?
Ohtani: 34 HR 95 RBI 90 Runs .273/.356/.519 .875 OPS 145 OPS+ 3.5 oWAR
Yordan: 37 HR 97 RBI 95 Runs .306/.406/.613 1.019 OPS 187 OPS+ 6.3 oWAR
Don't get me wrong, Ohtani is the more valuable player when you add in his pitching and deserved the runner-up for MVP, but Yordan completely blew him out of the water offensively. How does Ohtani win this offense-only award over Yordan? This is a clear case of the media just wanting to keep hyping Ohtani. Even if you add in Ohtani's 11 stolen bases you have to factor in that he was caught 9 times! Very fishy voting results.

Yordan won the SS for the AL at the Designated Hitter position over Ohtani already so that argument has zero merit. |

For the record, officially any player with at least 100 AB is qualified for the award.
If that really was the reasoning of the voters, they have proven their stupidity.
