For the second year in a row, Shohei Ohtani has been awarded the Edgar Martinez Award, which is given to the best designated hitter in the majors. 2 years in a row won the award 5 years in a row. It will be the first achievement in 15 years since David Ortiz. An internet program also praised this award. This feat of holding down Alvarez is amazing. However, the number of players who specialize in designated hitters has been decreasing year by year, and only three players, including Otani, have more than 500 at-bats as designated hitters this season, and Otani is the only player with more than 600 at-bats. If Ohtani continues to play as a two-way player and continues to play as a designated hitter, it will be an exclusive award for Ohtani, and it may break Ortiz’s record of eight awards. Anyway, congratulations to Ohtani. ▼ Voice Tsumugi Kasukabe VOICEVOX: https://voicevox.hiroshiba.jp/
