Tommy Edman (29), a Korean-born player who played as a member of the Korean national baseball team at the 2023 World Baseball Classic (WBC), set the first record.

The Los Angeles Dodgers had a home game against the New York Mets in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series (NLCS) at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on the 21st (Korea time).
The Los Angeles Dodgers won 10-5 on the day thanks to Tommy Edman, the fourth shortstop. It was their fourth win in the NLCS.

With four wins and two losses, the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the New York Mets to advance to the World Series for the first time in four years since 2020. The team is aiming to win the World Series for the first time in four years.

Edman hit a two-run double and a two-run homer early in the game to give the Los Angeles Dodgers four runs. He had two hits in five at-bats (one homer, one double) with four RBIs and two runs scored.

After the game, the Major League Secretariat said Edman, who performed the best throughout the NLCS, was selected as the NLCS MVP.

This is the first postseason MVP for a Korean player. It is also the second time since Hideki Matsui, who was named MVP of the World Series in 2009, when the team expanded its scope to Asia.

Edman had hits in all six NLCS games this time. Notably, he displayed outstanding batting performance, as he had multiple hits in four games. In the second game on Saturday, he had three hits.

Edman thus posted a batting average of 0.407, one home run, 10 RBIs and 11 hits in six NLCS games, and an on-base percentage of 0.452 OPS of 1.081. He dominated the NLCS at-bats.

On top of that, the Los Angeles Dodgers won the NLCS with a two-run double and a two-run homer in Game 6, which ended in the final game at the end of the season. The team is qualified as an MVP. 메이저사이트
