Congratulations! And well deserved! The next Babe Ruth!

In a way it's also honor for him :) Likewise Ohtani at bat occasionally was more accurate than refrees on calls for strike (which turned out to be wrong thanks to VAR recording).
He has potentials whose peak has yet to come. Looking forward to the next season, thereafter.

Not a surprise. He certainly put in the numbers. The Angels better do something if they want to retain him after his initial contract. He's basically carrying the team! I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up moving to Boston or New York.

The Angels need to get him some help in the line up and another quality starter so that they don't waste the talents of the 2 best players in baseball (when healthy).

He earned it! Job well done.

He is also the most four-balled and walked batter.

Great to hear!!
I read elsewhere he was honored to be compared to Babe Ruth. Hopefully he can move onto a new team and come across better chances now :)

Ohtani Shohei , just had one of the best the best seasons i nMLB history please stay healthy Ohtani-san, Too bad h e plays for a mediocre LA team
agrred all he needs to do now is move to a team thatll give him the best chance of a world series,
hope he doesnt become another Ichiro

This is one of the biggest reasons I like him too!

Toward the end of the season, his home runs decreased. American pitchers are studying hard about his batting. Next season will become a key year for him.

On top of being immensely talented, I think he is a great role model. Congrats, young man! Looking forward to more of the same in the years to come.

Good looking young man. Best wishes to him. I support!

Alright - hope Otani does it again next year.

Ka-ching !
this award has just increased the value of his next contract up to the stratosphere

Great! The wait is finally over. Now Angels need to not let another talent go to waste and work hard to bolster our rotation for this coming season. Syndegaard was a good signing. Now let's add 1 or 2 more starting pitchers, better relievers, an improvement at SS and re-sign Inglesias. We gotta make the playoffs at least next season.

Congrats, players like this are extremely rare, hope he does a little better overall each year coming!

Congrats to both of them. Each well deserved.
