The Major League Baseball's governing body announced the winners of the 『Players' Choice Awards』 on the 30th (Korea time). Since 1992, it has been meaningful as an award that players have directly voted for and presented.
The Player of the Year went to Seattle Mariners catcher Carl Raleigh, who hit 60 home runs to become the home run king of the Major League Baseball.
Raleigh was also selected as the American League's Outstanding Player. Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies, who beat Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who hit 55 home runs with 56 home runs, was chosen as the most valuable player in the National League.
Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers, who recorded a 2.21 and 241 strikeouts with 13 wins and 6 losses, was selected as the Outstanding Pitcher of the American League, and pitcher Paul Skinis of the Pittsburgh Pirates was selected as the best pitcher in the National League. Skinny's was 10-10, with a 1.97 ERA and 216 strikeouts. Both are pitchers with the highest ERA in both leagues.
Ohtani was even a finalist for Player of the Year and National League Most Valuable Player, but failed to win the award, falling behind Raleigh and Schwarber.
Ohtani played both as a pitcher and batter this season. As a hitter, he played in 158 games with a batting average of 282, 172 hits, 55 homers and 102 RBIs, and as a pitcher, he pitched 47 innings in 14 games with a 1-1 record with a 2.87 ERA and 62 strikeouts.
Ohtani has won three MVPs, back in 2021, 2023, and 2024. He is considered to be the MVP for three consecutive years because he is likely to win the award again this year. However, Ohtani was not in the players' vote. Ronald Acuña Jr. was named Player of the Year in 2023, and Aaron Judge won last year.
