If the selection of Fukuoka Softbank Hawks hurler Tsuyoshi Wada as Pacific League MVP proves anything, it's that there isn't a clear-cut right answer when the it comes to choosing MVPs.
Of course, the award is supposed to identify and celebrate the season's most valuable player. A simple task when everyone is in agreement about what exactly determines a player's value and nearly impossible otherwise.
In Japan, the latter case more often than not leads to the uninspired selection of the player with the best numbers on the best team. The justification being his value helped the team reach the ultimate prize.
