Two-way star Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels was the unanimous winner of the American League MVP award and Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper won the National League MVP for the second time in his career, it was announced Wednesday on MLB Network.

The Japanese-born Ohtani is the 19th unanimous MVP winner and won the award on the strength of his prowess as both a slugger and pitcher. He received the maximum total of 420 points while beating out two Toronto Blue Jays infielders -- second-place Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (269) and third-place Marcus Semien (232).
