Shohei Ohtani wins MVP with best season in L.A. sports history

LA Times  

The four words were first spoken here on a bright spring afternoon at Camelback Ranch, my astonished syllables joining similar tones of amazement floating from every corner of a crowded press box. “Are you kidding me?” Down to his last pitch in his first spring training game as a Dodger, Shohei Ohtani had just launched a two-run home run. “Are you kidding me?” × Shohei Ohtani became the first player ever to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in the same season. “Are you kidding me?” After consistently stating that he signed with the Dodgers to win a championship, on Oct. 5 he stared down the San Diego Padres in the third inning of his first playoff game and promptly hit a three-run home run. “Are you kidding me?” This is not only Ohtani’s record third unanimous MVP, it’s the first one in history won by a player who didn’t play an inning in the field, and he acknowledged Thursday that his inability to pitch led to an increased offensive focus.
