[Talkin’ Baseball] Shohei Ohtani and Barry Bonds are the only players in MLB history with more than three MVP Awards

  1. I don’t really see a reality where Ohtani doesn’t break this record.

    Edit: as long as he stays healthy.

  2. Is Ohtani’s current 5-year stretch the best 5-year run in MLB history?

    4x MVP, only losing to a 62 HR, 10.8 bWAR, all-time great season by Aaron Judge. Ohtani also came 4th in Cy Young voting that year.

    2x World Series Champion

    1x NLCS MVP, with one of the greatest ever playoff games in game 4

    5x All Star

    4x Silver Slugger

    50HR/50SB season in 2024

    50HR/50K season in 2025

    45.5 bWAR (pitching + batting)

    And add his success with Japan: WBC championship, WBC MVP, WBC All Team as DH AND Pitcher

    I know there have been 5-year stretches with higher bWAR, but including accolades and championships won, that’s gotta make up for it.
