Captures third MVP award Ohtani was unanimously named the 2024 National League Most Value Player on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Impact In the first year of his record setting contract with the Dodgers, Ohtani won his first MVP award in the National League unanimously . He did so without throwing a pitch for the entire season and became the first designated hitter to win the award. The 30-year-old was able to accomplish this feat with just his bat by notching up the first ever 50-50 season and falling just .004 shy of a Triple Crown. In search of his fourth MVP in 2025, he will be back on the mound.
