Most years, a player like Christian Yelich hitting .332 with 41 home runs, 24 stolen bases, and a 1.113 OPS is a slam dunk MVP selection. But the Milwaukee Brewers slugger has some serious competition this year from the Dodgers Cody Bellinger.
It’s been quite the race between Yelich and Bellinger all season, and even MLB has been playing into it with some promos of both of them.
First of all, that’s outstanding marketing by MLB, which is something that they’ve lacked the past several years.
But more importantly, this has been a two horse race virtually all season.
