Shohei Ohtani signed a 10-year $700 million deal with the Dodgers last offseason. The two-way ace delivered on all fronts in his maiden season with the Dodgers, helping them to an eighth World Series in franchise history. He became the first ballplayer to claim the MVP honors as a designated hitter.

Ohtani also became just the second ballplayer after Frank Robinson to win an MVP title in both leagues. Furthermore, he started a unique 50-50 club in the MLB, becoming the first ballplayer to crush 50 home runs and steal 50 bags in a single season.

Ohtani reflected on his MVP honors:

"I obviously don’t go into the season trying to strive to get the MVP Award. I was more focused on being one of the guys with a new team with the Dodgers. I wanted to obviously embrace the fans as well and let them learn who I was. That was my main focus.”

Shohei Ohtani sat on a couch with his wife, Mamiko Tanaka, and dog, Decoy, as his teammate Clayton Kershaw announced his name as the 2024 NL MVP. Ohtani dedicated the title to his team.

"The ultimate goal from the beginning was to win a World Series, which we were able to accomplish. Like I said before, I receive this award on behalf of my team. I’m looking forward to next season so we can run it back," Ohtani said through his interpreter Matt Hidaka.

Shohei Ohtani dominated the offensive charts in the MLB as he finished with 197 hits, 130 RBIs, a .310 batting average, 59 stolen bases and a whopping 54 home runs on his way to his maiden World Series.
