Ohtani ROY, really?????

I’ve read this thread and have concluded the following.

There clearly should be an award for the Yankee ROY and a secondary ROY award for everyone else.

I was actually fine with Sanchez not winning the ROY in 2016 based on the premise that he played an abbreviated season, even though there was a long ago precedent set with McCovey winning and playing even less.

With the 2016 precedent of passing on a player who played much less than a full season for this award but put forth strong results, it seems ironic that just two years later another player who played a partial season would win the award based on only minimally greater percentages than a player whose tangible results were greater because of playing a more complete season. This irony is my reason for this thread.
