Many stars have graced MLB in its glorious history. It includes the likes of Babe Ruth and Derek Jeter. But in the modern period, the Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani has captured a unique place. Because of his skills and contribution on the plate as well as the mound, his demand in the MLB market has reached sky-high. It has led to the fan-favorite player being termed an alien this season.

The MVP award is one of the most cherished awards for any baseball player. The same goes for Ohtani, who missed last year’s award to Aaron Judge. But he could easily repeat his feat from 2021 as the ongoing season has already seen a splendid display. It has put him way ahead of his nearest rivals, which has forced fans to ask a question about his dual MVP status.

Shohei Ohtani – An Ultimate Leader in the League

In team sports, every individual’s success is counted through the contribution to the team. Whether it’s home runs, RBIs, or strikeouts, all are the parameters on which a player is judged. And Shohei Ohtani has been a stand-out player in all of them. But it is his WAR that makes him a genuine leader. Codify Baseball stressed it with a Tweet, detailing his achievements.

Ohtani leads the list with a WAR of 8.4, with his nearest rival, Marcus Semien, at 5. But Ohtani is not just ruling this list. He has done well at bat with 92 runs and 852 RBIs to his name. He has also recorded 42 HRs at an OPS of 1.072 while averaging 0.306.

Ohtani has repeated similar performances on the mound. He has a W-L record of 10-5 at an ERA of 3.17. He has also claimed 165 strikeouts at a WHIP of 1.06. All these statistics have put him on a different level. Fans who love his every accolade have shared the same vibe in their social media reactions to this latest update.
