With more than 100 players from 18 teams anonymously participating in the survey, Ohtani was selected as the top “best player.”
Nearly half of the respondents, 46 percent, supported Ohtani. “Some players acknowledged that Ohtani was the best player, but they chose other players for fear of giving too obvious an answer,” the media reported.
Ohtani, who made his MLB debut in 2018 after playing in the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), won the Rookie of the Year award in his first year in the big league. In 2021 and 2023, Ohtani unanimously won the MVP award of the American League. He performed well in both pitchers and hitters, drawing even more attention.
He had elbow surgery last year and is only a hitter this year, but his fellow players’ support has not changed. One player even said, “Otani has no match. Every player has a competitor, but he has no competitor.”
Ohtani has a batting average of 0.310 with 15 homers, 41 RBIs, 47 runs and 14 steals in 64 games this year.
After Ohtani, Ronald Acuña Jr. (Atlanta Braves) came in second with 26.5% support, while Mookie Betts (Dodgers) and Aaron Judge (New York Yankees) came in third with 8.8% of the vote.토토사이트 순위
Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chizome Jr. was named the most overrated player. Chizome Jr. ranked first with 20.3 percent.
Los Angeles Angels infielder Anthony Rendon came in second with 10.2 percent. He was selected as the most underrated player in the 2019 Players Survey, but he has received the opposite evaluation in five years. Rendon, who was selected as the first All-Star in his career in 2019, has been struggling with injuries every year since moving to the Angels in 2020.
