San Diego’s Kim Ha-Sung also receives votes in this poll
Shohei Ohtani’s
(Los Angeles Angels) status hasn’t changed, even when injuries have interrupted his pitching duties.
MLBcom, the official website of Major League Baseball, released the results of its mock Most Valuable Player (MVP) voting for the 2023 season on Sunday, 한국야동 with 54 experts participating.
For each league, voters cast their ballots from first through fifth place, with first place earning five points, second place four points, third place three points, fourth place two points, and fifth place one point.
In the American League (AL) MVP mock poll, Ohtani once again reigned supreme. All 54 voters cast their first-place votes for Ohtani.
The unanimous and absolute support for Ohtani follows a mock poll released earlier this month.
Despite being diagnosed with elbow ligament damage late last month that will keep him off the mound for the remainder of the season, the experts’ overwhelming support remained.
As a pitcher, Ohtani appeared in 23 games this year, going 10-5 with a 3.14 ERA. As a hitter, he has played 135 games, 성인웹툰 batting .304 with 44 home runs, 95 RBIs and 20 doubles. He leads the AL in home runs.
“Despite suffering a season-ending injury on the mound, the superstar has accomplished so much this year that he’s still an overwhelming favorite,” MLBcom explained.
Ohtani, who has vowed to continue playing as a designated hitter even if he doesn’t pitch, has missed his last four games with a side injury.
Behind Ohtani, the second- and third-place finishers for AL MVP were Corey Seager (Texas Rangers) and Julio Rodriguez (Seattle Mariners). Their vote totals were not disclosed.
Unlike the AL, which is dominated by Ohtani, the National League (NL) MVP race is a close one.
