Andujar deserved the award for the same reason people were saying Beltre was a HOFer before he got to 3,000: there aren't a whole lot of third basemen who can hit. If being a power hitting third basemen can get you into the HOF, it should win you the ROY too. Power hitting DH's are a dime a dozen. Who cares if they pitched 50 innings.

Andujar's oWAR was 4.6. Ohtani's was only 2.7. Andujar was a superior hitter. His fielding would be the only knock but then again Ohtani wasn't playing the field either.

Last I checked Andujar wasn't pitching...

I'm surprised this is even a debate. Ohtani got 25 out of 30 first place votes, and he probably should have all 30. What he accomplished with the opportunities he had was remarkable. I couldn't care less about war or owar but you could argue his case based on his offensive stats alone. Once you include the pitching it's not even close.
