Pete Crow-Armstrong wins MLB awards, Shohei Ohtani overlooked

Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Chicago Cubs was awarded Player of the Year and Outstanding Player of the Year at the MLB Players Choice Awards on October 28. This recognition comes as Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers did not receive nominations for these honors following a season marred by injuries. Ohtani, a leading MVP candidate prior to the season, excelled early, posting a 1.79 ERA and strong offensive numbers. However, he struggled with injuries in the second half, limiting his participation. Crow-Armstrong's impressive season featured.280 batting average, 45 home runs, and exceptional defense, setting him apart in the awards consideration. Ohtani’s lack of recognition may motivate a return to form in 2027.
