Houston’s Jose Altuve won his first American League MVP award on Thursday, besting the field after batting a league-leading .346 with a .410 on-base percentage and .957 OPS.
I had one of two MVP votes in Kansas City’s BBWAA chapter. (Sam Mellinger had the other one.)
I voted for Cleveland’s Jose Ramirez.
My full ballot looked like this: 1. Jose Ramirez; 2. Jose Altuve; 3. Aaron Judge; 4. Mike Trout; 5. Francisco Lindor; 6. Corey Kluber; 7. Eric Hosmer; 8. Chris Sale; 9. Andrelton Simmons; 10. Mookie Betts
