Seems like a stupid question, but is Ohtani really fast or just smart with good timing?
—-/
51 SB only been caught only 4 times
Likely both

Looks like his 3rd MVP (also had a 2nd place finish)

This is his first full season without pitching
He always had nagging injuries From pitching that put him on the DL or cut his previous seasons short

He’s a good pitcher but a great hitter/runner

He’s scheduled to start pitching again next season

I would just use him as a hitter and perhaps a relief pitcher here and there

Not a full time starter

There are reports that Ohtani might be used to pitch and DH during the playoffs. I’m kind of skeptical of this but considering the Dodgers have one starting pitcher capable of pitching at least six innings right now it’s not impossible.

Here is the entire list of players before today with 17 total bases in a game. Shohei Ohtani is the first to do it without hitting four home runs. He is the only one to steal a base (he swiped two).

On the day he went 50/50, Ohtani had one of the greatest games in MLB history.

The WAR stat says that Judge is having a much better season.

Sorry, but a DH should never be MVP. If he pitched this season, I would say yes.
