Shohei Ohtani is set to make history as a finalist for the NL MVP, likely winning unanimously after a record-breaking 2023 season as a designated hitter.

Explore the dynamics of the MVP Award's history and the surprising trends in the Manager of the Year accolades. Despite leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to the best record in baseball, Dave Roberts was overlooked for the NL Manager of the Year, sparking a discussion on the award's criteria.
