Arguably, Showtime was one of the greatest players in MLB in 2022. Making a 15-9 and a 2.33 ERA record, 34 home runs were great, but it somehow could not pave his way for another MVP of the year. Before the Yankees player Aaron Judge made the historical end to the season last year. It was definitely the Los Angeles Angels player Shohei Ohtani, the MVP. But as things went differently from what Ohtani had envisioned, he got a little upset with the MVP snub.
Despite Aaron Judge\’s 62 record-breaking home runs. Showtime was a little optimistic about himself. Some things about his career\’s best year made him feel he was better than the Yankees slugger who broke Roger Maris\’ record. As suggested by the manager of Los Angeles Nagels, Phil Nevin, \”Shohei Ohtani was not happy about not winning the MVP.\”
What Will Shohei Ohtani Do In Order To Win MVP?
When fans were asked who deserved the MVP of 2022, half of them said Shohei Ohtani, and the rest said it was Aaron Judge. However, New York Yankees had been a more recognizable team among the contenders for the award. Perhaps Los Angeles Angels had an impact on Ohtani when they made votes for the winner. This time, Shohei will be playing with the Angels for the last time as his contract is ending, and no one knows at present knows if he will re-sign or leave. With the Japanese free agency, there will again be a contract battle among the MLB teams.
A very ridiculous but interesting fact is that when a player plays in his last year of the deal, he plays his best, increasing his worth way more than before. Look at Aaron Judge. Last year was the last of his contract with the Yankees. He made 62 HOME RUNS! So in 2023, it may happen that Shohei Ohtani does something more than better, the best! Then the Angels will definitely cross all borders in terms of offering contracts. But most probably, he will not accept the deal. He would look for a contending team, which is the Yankees! he may get to Bronx Bombers if offered.
Last year, Shohei Ohtani posted a .273 hit with 34 runs, 95 RBI, which ranked 18th, and 11 stolen bases. He slugged with an average of .519, which was the tenth-best in MLB. He made the sixth-best ERA and strikeout in the majors. Indeed with 11.9k/9, Ohtani became the second-best in all MLB, yet failed to win the MVP. If he got upset with the decision, it is quite justified; what do you think? But unfortunately, no one can say against Aaron Judge, who really did more amazing things. Sadly the award can go only to one.
