He walked an impre sive 12.3 percent of the time and struck out only at a 15.8 percent clip.

Few batters hit the ball harder as he ranked third with a 95.1 average exit velocity and was second with 23.1 percent hard hits per swing, .Shohei Ohtani, Angels: It was the season that captured the attention of the baseball world. Ohtani pulled off incomparable feats of greatne s in 2021 with his ability to both produce as one of the most feared bats in the game and dominate on the mound as a true ace. He was third in the majors with 46 home runs and his 26 stolen bases were fifth-most in the AL, and he finished with 5.1 fWAR as a batter.

All told, that 8.1 fWAR was the most of any player in the big leagues.Marcus Semien, Blue Jays: Guerrero wasn't the only Blue Jay with an MVP-caliber season.

The only knock on Burnes is that he was the only Cy Young starter to make fewer than 30 starts (28) and he had the fewest innings (167). But when he was on the mound, few could match Burnes' dominance.Max Scherzer, Dodgers: Nationals' red? Dodger blue? The uniform didn't matter for Scherzer, he was going to dominate no matter what jersey he wore. Scherzer finished the year with a 2.46 ERA and 2.97 FIP in 179.1 innings of work and an impre sive 6.56 K/BB ratio, behind only Burnes for the best in the majors.
