Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Dec 17, 2023 7:10 am

Shohei Ohtani and Ronald Acuna Jr. won the 2023 Hank Aaron Awards on Saturday, presented by Major League Baseball to the most outstanding offensive performer in each league.

The MLB award is picked by fan balloting combined with votes from a panel of Hall of Famers and former winners, a group that this year included Johnny Bench, Craig Biggio, Ken Griffey Jr., Derek Jeter, Chipper Jones, Pedro Martínez, Eddie Murray, Albert Pujols, David Ortiz, John Smoltz and Robin Yount.

The pair also won Most Valuable Player awards last month in voting by the Baseball Writers\' Association of America. Ohtani was the first two-time unanimous MVP.
