So, Los Angeles Dodgers fans, did you think Shohei Ohtani was going to win all of the awards on Thursday night?

Ohtani picked up his second consecutive National League Most Valuable Player Award (and fourth overall MVP award in his MLB career - he won the American League MVP Award twice with the Los Angeles Angels).

But wait, there's more. Ohtani did win the Edgar Martinez Outstanding Designated Hitter Award for the fifth straight time. Yes, it does date back to his time with the Angels as well. 

Besides Ohtani, were any other Dodgers players recognized?

Yes. Starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who enshrined his name in Dodgers lore with a postseason to remember, gained first-team All MLB honors. Yamamoto came out in Game 7 of the 2025 World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays and pitched 2 2/3 innings in relief that helped the Dodgers raise The Commissioners' Trophy for yet another season.

Catcher Will Smith, who hit the game-winning home run in the 11th inning of Game 7, earned second-team All MLB recognition.

It was a banner night for postseason awards for these Dodgers players. 

Dodgers fans probably believe that their team should have won all the awards. But hey, the Baseball Writers' Association of America had to spread the love around to other teams, too.

This was Smith's second time on the second team, too, as he also appeared there in 2022. For Yamamoto, it was his first selection since debuting in the majors back in 2024. 

Look at these statistics for Ohtani right here. He led the NL with 146 runs scored, 380 total bases and a 1.014 OPS. When Ohtani got on the mound, he was 1-1 with a 2.87 ERA in 14 games. Ohtani also struck out 62 batters in 47 innings of work.

For Yamamoto, he was 12-8 in the 2025 regular season. He pitched in a career-high 30 starts. Yamamoto wrapped up regular-season play with a 2.49 ERA.

As for Smith, his regular-season numbers looked this way: A career-high .296 batting average with 17 homers and 61 RBIs.

While Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts didn't win any postseason honors this season, he made his presence felt at the televised awards ceremony. Betts hosted the ceremony held under the bright lights of Las Vegas on Thursday night. He even brought the championship trophy to the event as well.

Maybe Betts was playfully reminding those in attendance that the road to the World Series leads through Dodger Stadium. Betts, though, also won the Roberto Clemente Award in the 2025 season, too, which he received during the season itself.

Just another award-winning night for the Dodgers franchise.
