羅森索的話與分析師史派德（Ryan M. Spaeder）先前分享的觀點有些類似，當時他表示，「儘管大谷的最終成績可能會比他的上一年更好，但某些BBWAA（全美棒球記者協會）的成員已經對他的比賽感到厭倦，如果去年沒有發生，然後他有這個賽季，他將一致認可獲得MVP。」
It’s embarrassing that Ohtani won’t win MVP this season because, despite what will likely end up being a better year than his last, certain BBWAA voters are somehow jaded by his game. If last year never happened and then he had this season, he would win the MVP Award unanimously.— Ryan M. Spaeder (@theaceofspaeder) 2022年9月6日
