Judge, the Undisputed Leader of the Yankees this Season
Aaron Judge, captain of the New York Yankees, continues to demonstrate his dominance in MLB. During the recent series against the Boston Red Sox, Judge reached a historic record shared by two Hall of Fame legends. This achievement further solidifies his position as one of the best players of the season.
Judge’s Stellar Season
Although he had a slow start, Judge has managed to adjust his game and is now considered one of the league’s top hitters. He currently leads in RBIs, walks, and is the year’s leading home run hitter with 26 homers before the start of the series against the Baltimore Orioles.
Favorite for the American League MVP
Aaron Judge’s performance places him as the main candidate to win the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award of the American League, which would be his second MVP in his career. His consistency and ability to excel in crucial moments have made him the undisputed favorite for this award.
Yankees Debate Between Judge and Soto for Team MVP
A survey conducted by Jon Heyman, columnist for The New York Post and MLB Network analyst, revealed that the Yankees players and manager Aaron Boone are split between Aaron Judge and Juan Soto as the team’s MVP. Two players voted for Judge, one for Soto, and the rest left their votes blank. Both Boone and Giancarlo Stanton consider that both players are of the same caliber and play crucial roles for the team.
Strong Competition for MVP in the American League
Despite the impressive performances of Judge and Soto, the competition for MVP in the American League is fierce. Players like Gunnar Henderson of the Baltimore Orioles, Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals, and José Ramírez of the Cleveland Guardians are also serious contenders for the award, ensuring an exciting dispute until the end of the season.
