Shohei Ohtani Wins Fourth Unanimous MLB MVP, Dodgers Repeat as World Series Champions
Imagine baseball players who are super good at hitting and also super good at throwing the ball.
Shohei Ohtani is one of those players, and he just won a really big award called the MVP, which means he was the most valuable player in his league for the fourth time!
He won it all by himself, meaning every single person who voted thought he was the best.
This is special because he's the only player ever to win this big award in both leagues.
Shohei's team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, also won the championship for the second year in a row, meaning they are the best team in baseball right now.
Another great player, Aaron Judge, also won a similar MVP award for the other league.
It was a close race, but he also had an amazing year hitting lots of home runs.
Shohei Ohtani has won his fourth career MLB MVP award, unanimously earning all votes for the second consecutive year.
This marks Ohtani's third consecutive MVP award and his second with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Ohtani recorded a .282 batting average with 55 home runs and a 2.87 ERA with 62 strikeouts in the 2025 season.
The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in a seven-game series to win their second consecutive World Series title.
Aaron Judge won his third American League MVP award, batting .331 with 53 home runs and a 1.144 OPS.
