Vladimir Guerrero was named baseball's outstanding designated hitter for 2010, the commissioner's office announced Wednesday.

Guerrero is a first-time winner of the Edgar Martinez Award, which is named after the longtime Mariners DH.

Guerrero hit .306 with 25 homers and 106 RBI in in his 129 games at DH this season, helping lead the Rangers to their first World Series appearance.

He beat out five-time winner David Ortiz of the Red Sox for the award, which has been given out annually since 1973 and was renamed for Martinez (also a five-time winner) in 2004.
