Shohei Ohtani wins the Edgar Martinez Outstanding Designated Hitter Award! (FIFTH straight season!)
Now, let’s give it up for one of the best to ever do it at that position and the namesake of our next award, Hall of Famer Edgar Martinez. Hello, Las Vegas. Uh, it is always an honor to present the award that bears my name, the Edgar Martinez out of standing hitter of the year. I know how tough it is to make hitting look easy, but this year’s winner didn’t just make it look easy. He made it look legendary. For the fifth consecutive time, the winner is Choi Otani. And Joi, thanks for making me glad. They named this award after a hitter, not a pitcher, too. My best to you. Congratulations. Edgar Martinez outstanding designated hitter award. Show Otani. Otani. Inevitable. Oh my goodness. He gives the people what they came to see. A spectacular show. How far does it go? What a blast from Otani. Nobody like him. Never has been. Doubtful there ever will be. Show Otani has now won the DH of the year award for the fifth straight season, matching David Ortiz for the longest streak since the award was first given out in 1973. Accepting on behalf of Show Otani is his teammate Muki Betts. Show says thank you. I wonder if he gets tired of winning these things.

My nephew plays little league baseball and all players idolizes Ohtani and wants to be a pitcher and hitter, the Goat 🐐 inspiring future generations.
How many DH players out there that can throw a 100 mph fastball? Nobody but Shohei Ohtani. Show The Way Shohei! LET'S GO DODGERS!
The GOAT being the GOAT.
Very amusing cut off at the end there XD.

The players voted Kyle Schwarber most outstanding player this year. These awards mean nothing.
ベッツのスピーチ気になる～
賞自体に価値があるのは勿論だけど大谷さんが受賞する事で今後は更に賞の価値も上がる

Shohei Ohtani is such a GOAT he asks other hall of famers to pick up his awards.
why othani didnt attend the ceremony award ?????????
역사상 가장 압도적인 선수입니다. 베이브 루스 부럽지 않습니다
Congratulations to Ohtani on his fourth MVP! He's the pride of Japan! I'll continue to support him! The greatest baseball player of all time.
If ohtani career becomes even more legendary will he become an award to the shohei ohtani award
I wonder if he gets tired of winning these – Mookie Betts
오타니 야마모토는 다저스 김혜성을 조심하세요
the man is a RIGHT hand pitcher, that wins the designated hitter award as an LEFT hand hitter🤦🏾♂️‼️
Doesn't bother to show up to accept his own award. Also should be banned for his involvement in the gambling scandal. MLB is an embarrassment.
