Shohei Ohtani and Ronald Acuna Jr. have unanimously been named Most Valuable Player of their respective leagues.

Ohtani became the first player to win the award unanimously on two occasions, having done so in 2021.

Ohtani, 29, led the major leagues with 9.0 FanGraphs wins above replacement (2.4 as a pitcher, 6.6 as an offensive player). He slashed .304/.412/.654 in 599 plate appearances as a hitter, leading the AL in home runs (44) and the majors in OPS (1.066) while adding 20 stolen bases. 

Acuna combined 41 home runs with an NL-leading 73 stolen bases, easily becoming the first member of the 40-70 club. The 25-year-old also led the NL in on-base percentage (.416), OPS (1.012), hits (217) and runs scored (149). His .337 batting average trailed only Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (.354) for the major league lead.

San Diego Padres starter Blake Snell won his second Cy Young Award on Wednesday, this time in the National League, while New York Yankees hurler Gerrit Cole took home his first award unanimously after twice coming in second and finishing in the top five three other times.

The Baltimore Orioles' Brandon Hyde was named the American League Manager of the Year on Tuesday, as the Miami Marlins' Skip Schumaker won the National League award.

Five years after they played together in a showcase of the best high school baseball players in America, Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll and Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson won the Rookie of the Year Award on Monday, only the fifth time both leagues' winners have been unanimous.

Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias was voted Major League Baseball's executive of the year on Tuesday after the team finished with the American League's best record for the first time since 1997.

Baltimore went 101-67 with a $67 million payroll, 29th among the 30 teams and ahead of only Oakland. After their first 100-win season since 1980, the Orioles were swept in the Division Series by the eventual World Series champion Texas Rangers.

Rawlings announced the 2023 Gold Gloves winners in Major League Baseball on Sunday.

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman and outfielder Kevin Kiermaier won their fourth Gold Gloves, while 13 players were first-time winners of the honor.

Cleveland Guardians second baseman Andres Gimenez and left fielder Steven Kwan won their second Gold Gloves, along with Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson and left fielder Ian Happ and Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker.

First-time AL winners included Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim, first baseman Nathaniel Lowe and right fielder Adolis Garcia, Blue Jays pitcher Jose Berríos, Houston Astros utilityman Mauricio Dubon and New York Yankees shortstop Volpe.

In the NL, first-time winners included San Diego Padres right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. and utilityman Ha-Seong Kim, Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler, Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno, Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner, Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes and Colorado Rockies center fielder Doyle.

Atlanta right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. was voted player of the year and the National League's outstanding player by fellow major leaguers in the annual Players Choice Awards of the Major League Baseball Players Association.

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter and pitcher Shohei Ohtani was voted the American League's outstanding player, the union said Thursday.

Seven-time All-Star Nelson Cruz, who has 464 career home runs, is retiring after 19 seasons in Major League Baseball, he said during an appearance on "The Adam Jones Podcast."

Cruz, 43, told Jones that he would be competing this winter in the Dominican Professional Baseball League in what amounts to be a farewell tour.

"So this is the last we're seeing of Nelson Cruz?" Jones asked.

Said Cruz: "I think so, yeah."

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager was named World Series MVP for the second time in his career Wednesday as the club won it's first championship.

Seager hit three home runs and drove in six during the five games while posting a 1.137 OPS.

He signed a 10-year, $325 million deal with the Rangers before the 2022 season.

"It truly is incredible," Seager said. "But it's not just me, man. What this team did and how we competed and all the guys in there rallying, we don't really have one leader. That whole clubhouse is the leadership."

Seager also was the MVP of the 2020 World Series when he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He is just the fourth player to win multiple World Series MVP trophies since the award was first given out in 1955, joining Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson and Reggie Jackson.
