    Ortiz won the DH award five years in a row from 2003 to ’07.

    Ohtani finished ahead of Atlanta’s Marcell Ozuna, Houston’s Yordan Alvarez, Philadelphia’s Bryce Harper and the Los Angeles Dodgers’ J.D. Martinez in voting by beat writers, broadcasters and public relations departments. Players were eligible with 100 or more at-bats as a designated hitter.

    The 29-year-old Ohtani became the first two-time unanimous MVP, winning the AL honor in 2021 and this year.

    Ohtani and Martinez became free agents after the World Series.
