Shohei Ohtani’s historic season continues to earn the first-year Dodgers star awards.
Ohtani was named the National League winner of the Hank Aaron Award as the top offensive player in the league. He also was named the outstanding DH for a fourth consecutive season and joined Mookie Betts on the All-MLB first team as part of MLB’s awards show Thursday night.
New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge won the Hank Aaron Award in the American League.
“It’s an honor to win an award named after the legendary Hank Aaron,” Ohtani said in a video shown on the awards show. “My deep appreciation and gratitude goes out to all the fans and Hall of Famers who voted for me. Your support means everything to me.”
Ohtani received the Edgar Martinez Award as the Outstanding DH in MLB for his historic 50/50 season. It was Ohtani’s fourth consecutive season winning the award. He is the first player to win the award in each league.
Ohtani was also named the DH on the All-MLB team for the fifth time since the awards were created in 2019.
Betts was named to the All-MLB first team as an outfielder despite playing right field in just 43 games last season. Betts also played 65 games at shortstop and 18 at second base.
