A pair of heavy MVP favorites in New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani lead the list of this

Ohtani would also become the 12th player in history to win at least three MVP awards. Yogi Berra, Joe DiMaggio, Roy Campanella, Jimmie Foxx, Mickey Mantle, Albert Pujols, Stan Musial, Mike Trout, Alex Rodriguez and Mike Schmidt also won three MVPs. Only one player has won more — Barry Bonds (seven).

Shohei Ohtani, Teoscar Hernández, and Mookie Betts all won Silver Slugger Awards as the best offensive players at their positions in the National League. Three players is the most Dodgers to win Silver Sluggers in the same season in the 44-year history of the award.
