Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani celebrates his home run against the Toronto Blue Jays during the seventh inning in Game 3 of baseball's World Series in Los Angeles.

Two-way star Shohei Ohtani won his fourth MVP award in a unanimous vote for the National League honour on Thursday and Aaron Judge earned the American League accolade for the third time.

Ohtani won a MVP for the third straight year, his second in the NL with the Los Angeles Dodgers after two in the AL with the Los Angeles Angels. All four have been unanimous.

Judge became the New York Yankees’ fourth three-time winner, edging Seattle’s Cal Raleigh with 17 first-place votes to 13 for the switch-hitting catcher. The vote was the closest for an MVP since the Angels’ Mike Trout topped Houston’s Alex Bregman by 17-13 in 2019.
