2GN2S ...

I have been a Shohei Ohtani fan since he played great ball in Japan. So when he was brought over by the Angels, he was just easier to follow. In case the name is new to you, as a starting pitcher, Ohtani made 23 appearances, winning nine games while suffering two losses, and struck out 156 batters.

Also a great hitter, in particular, 45 home runs.

He was unanimously voted (all 30 votes) 2021 American League Most Valuable Player Thursday.

Ohtani, 27, is coming off a historic season that saw him starring on both the mound and at the plate for the Los Angeles Angels, a feat that has drawn comparisons to the Hall of Famer Babe Ruth. 

 

Ohtani and his hero, Ichiro

He is the second Japanese-born player to be voted MVP, following Ichiro Suzuki, who was voted the AL MVP in 2001 when he played for the Seattle Mariners. In Japan, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida weighed in on Friday. "It's an extraordinary accomplishment and as a Japanese citizen, I feel very proud."
