Crow-Armstrong became the seventh player in Major League Baseball history to record a 40-40 season, finishing ahead of three-time winner Shohei Ohtani in the voting.

Shohei Ohtani's two-way skillset is so unique that any time he pitches and hits for an entire season, he's practically guaranteed the MVP. What did the Dodgers learn this past year? Crow-Armstrong launched 45 home runs and stole 41 bases this season, becoming the sport's seventh 40-40 player.

Yahoo Sports reported the story as "Shohei Ohtani lost the MVP to Pete Crow-Armstrong. What he needs to do to reclaim it." Los Angeles Times reported the story as "Shohei Ohtani lost the MVP to Pete Crow-Armstrong. What he needs to do to reclaim it."
