Dodgers’ two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani won his fourth unanimous MVP award Thursday after a standout season that saw his successful return to the mound and a second consecutive World Series title for Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Ohtani has back-to-back National League MVP awards. He was named AL MVP twice during his time with the Angels.<\/p>\n

Other top contenders in the NL this season included the Phillies’ Kyle Schwarber and Mets’ Juan Soto.<\/p>\n

Ohtani, an MVP winner in four of the last five seasons, also collected the 2025 National League Silver Slugger Award, his third straight, for designated hitters.<\/p>\n

Coming off his landmark 50-50 season, Ohtani hit a career-high and Dodgers<\/a> franchise-record 55 home runs to finish second in the NL. He batted .282 with 102 RBIs and paced everyone in several offensive categories.<\/p>\n

Ohtani led the league in slugging (.622), OPS (1.014), OPS+ (179) and total bases (380). His MLB-high 146 runs scored were the most by any Dodger since the beginning of baseball’s modern era in 1900, according to MLB.com.<\/p>\n

Barry Bonds holds the record for the most MLB MVP awards with seven. Bonds won in 1990, 1992, 1993, and four consecutive times from 2001\u20132004.<\/p>\n

The MVP awards were announced Thursday, a day after the Pirates’ Paul Skenes won the National League Cy Young Award in a unanimous vote. Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal won his second straight American League Cy Young Award.<\/p>\n

World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Los Angeles Dodgers finished third in Cy Young Award voting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dodgers’ two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani won his fourth unanimous MVP award Thursday after a standout season that saw…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38961,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7482,9,11,10],"class_list":["post-38960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-los-angeles-dodgers","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38960\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
