Now you've got me trying to imagine two way NFL players lol. I could see a WR/CB combo or something but that's not a huge leap. Pitching and Batting are entirely different, it's just insane.
We may have to wait a few years or he's just going to win his own award every season lol. I do wonder how many players like him will appear in the coming years though.
I’m not sure how many more two way players we’ll actually see. But I would love an Ohtani Award for best all-around player each year. MVP has become such a hitting award, or for special accomplishments. But an Ohtani award for whoever brings it all together the best offensively, defensively, speed, and baseball IQ. Who is Mr. Baseball this year? Give them the Ohtani Award.
The only problem with that is that MVP is not exclusive to hitters, it's just dominated by them. An Ohtani award that isn't exclusive to players that meet a requirement of a certain number of at bats and innings pitched would be seen as redundant. I really do hope we see an uptick in two way players though, no doubt Ohtani is inspiring a lot of young players to pursue that path, a few years down the line we may see prospects making waves and he'll be recognized as a trailblazer.
@@Fifty50Network then they can make MVP for hitter, and MVP for pitcher. With only one MVP, you can't make things fair for all and it makes everybody jealous of Ohtani.
@@Fifty50Network I want to see more TWP. I'm pretty sure none will be able to play at Ohtani's level and that would help all the skeptics to realize Ohtani's greatness.
