1) Shohei Ohtani, DH/SP, Angels (23 of 28 first-place votes)
If it’s not one Angels superstar, it’s another. Trout was our first AL MVP pick, and now Ohtani takes his place. The two-way sensation is leading the Major Leagues with 30 home runs after hitting two on Friday night while pacing the Majors with a .705 slugging percentage. And he has a 3.60 ERA in 12 starts as a pitcher, with 83 strikeouts in 60 innings. He’s in the middle of a historic season.
He is ruling the sports card world and he is having a lot of fun playing you can tell he is joy all over his face. He has the game and goes with it, he’s a pure hitter and pitcher not since Babe Ruth have we had a pitcher doing both. He is fast and he is a real ballplayer, he is the real deal, He can steal bases and he runs fast.
His baseball cards or fast becoming the hottest in collecting.
