Shohei Ohtani earns recognition as MLB's biggest winner for May

ESPN's Buster Olney has named Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers the 'biggest winner' in MLB for May 2026. After a tough start to the month, Ohtani rebounded impressively, batting.289 and achieving a.900 OPS, alongside an outstanding 1.05 ERA in four starts on the mound. He faced early skepticism regarding his dual role as a pitcher and hitter but silenced critics with nine multi-hit games. Olney emphasized that Ohtani remains in contention for both the Cy Young and MVP awards as he seeks a fourth consecutive MVP title. Ohtani's performance is critical as he aims to lead the Dodgers to a third straight World Series title.
