The unanimous climax was reached in the MVP voting on the 17th. Ohtani and Acuña Jr. became the first players in history to win unanimous MVP honors in both major leagues.
In 135 games as a batter this season, Ohtani recorded a batting average of 0.304, 44 home runs, 95 RBI, 102 runs, 151 hits, an on-base percentage of 0.412, and an OPS of 1.066.

Both players performed at their best, but Ohtani missed many games due to injury, and Acuña Jr. competed fiercely with Mookie Betts until the end of the season.
Due to the absence due to injury and the presence of very good competitors, it was difficult website to guarantee a unanimous MVP award, but the voters' choice was decisive.
Accordingly, there were 5 unanimous votes in a total of 6 categories: Rookie of the Year, Cy Young Award, and MVP. Blake Snell, who did not win the award unanimously, also took 28 out of 30 first-place votes.
