I swear people just gotta hate Ohtani the way they’re acting like it’s even close between him and Schwarber. I get tired of the Ohtani glaze too, but come on guys.

on the other hand Ohtani’s IP won’t be very high by the end of the season, and even if he impresses in ERA, SO, and WHIP down the stretch he will have provided what many pitchers can do for under half a season and that isn’t close to MVP level of valuable to a team. otherwise Kyle leads the league in HR and RBI, being a whole 19 ahead of Shohei. if he keeps it up then at the LEAST Kyle oughta be considered #2 or 3 in voting

I just hard disagree with RBIs being brought up when Shohei bats leadoff and Schwarber bats 2nd. It’s not a fair comparison, especially when every other stat looks like this

Schwarber has 1 more home runs and bats at a spot that lets him get more RBIs, while Shohei is better in literally every other offensive stat, is a better baserunner, and is gonna throw at least around 40 innings with a sub 2.5 ERA. It isn’t close.

If anyone wants to challenge Ohtani it’s gonna be PCA, since he has a legitimate case with a higher WAR, and being a truly elite 5 tool player and a high level defender at a premium defensive position, which is something Shohei can’t say. Schwarber is basically diet Shohei without the pitching, while PCA at least does sometbing different by being centerfield Bobby Witt Jr
