Soon enough, Shohei Ohtani wont have anyone but Barry Bonds to chase.
Ohtani is expected to earn his fourth Most Valuable Player award Nov. 13 when balloting from the Baseball Writers Assn. is announced. It would be his second National League honor with the Los Angeles Dodgers after winning a pair of American League MVPs down the freeway with the Angels.
Ohtanis fourth MVP would break a tie with 10 players who were three-time MVPs, and move him behind only Barry Bonds, whose seven NL MVPs are most in major league history.
In the AL, Aaron Judge is aiming to join the Gang of Three with his third MVP plaque, though record-setting Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh is a significant roadblock. Judge hit 53 home runs and won his first career batting title, leading the majors with a .331 mark. Raleigh hit 60 home runs, a record for both a catcher and switch-hitter, and drove in 125.
Major League Baseball will reveal the 2025 Most Valuable Player winners at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday, Nov. 13.
The MLB MVP award show will air on MLB Network and can be streamed with Fubo.
