The competition is tough, and now the two-way star has laid his opinions out on who he thinks MVP is, and his fans clearly liked the answer he gave.
Shohei Ohtani is enjoying it!!
No matter who becomes MVP, the race between Ohtani and Judge is going on ever, from the time Judge increased his pace this season. And reporters finally get to ask the opinions of the Angels’ star on the ongoing race.
Ohtani on the MVP race: "I feel like you guys are more of an expert on the voting, the writers, so I'll leave it up to you guys. But I'm definitely enjoying it. I enjoy watching Judge. I watched him hit 61. Just as a baseball fan, it's great watching him do his thing."

While Ohtani said he was enjoying the race, he strongly believed, he has done far better than last year. Even though the star became MVP last year, he thinks he is playing more fluently with more confidence this year. Both the players are having an overall great season in comparison to the numbers they are producing.
