Ohtani was named as the main character in the designated hitter category of the 'First Team' of 'All-MLB Team" at the 'All-MLB Award" awards ceremony held in Las Vegas, Nevada on the 15th (Korea time).
Ohtani appeared in 159 games this season and marked 0.310 (197 hits in 636 at-bats), 54 home runs, 130 RBIs, 134 runs, 59 steals, 0.390 on-base percentage, 0.646 slugging percentage, 1.036 OPS+ 188 and bWAR 9.2. Above all, he hit his career high in all areas of offense, marking the first milestone in major league history that was '50 home run-50 stolen bases' and performing well worth '700 million'.
It consists of 50% of the fan vote and expert evaluation of 'All MLB Team', which began to be selected in 2019. Regardless of the division of the two leagues, the announcement is divided into first and second teams, and there was virtually no player who could compete against Ohtani among the designated hitters this season.
Ohtani has been an all-MLB team member every year since 2021, when he was with the Los Angeles Angels. In 2021, he was selected as the first team's designated hitter and the second team's starting pitcher and the second team's designated hitter in 2022, and in 2023, he boasted his power to dominate the first team's starting pitcher and designated hitter.
Ohtani, who had elbow surgery and was a pitcher this season, has been listed as an all-MLB team member for four consecutive years as a batter.
