Congratulations are in order for Aaron Judge, who has officially been named the American League MVP after clubbing a league-record 62 home runs in 2022.
Now then, let's talk about Shohei Ohtani.
Though the Los Angeles Angels' two-way superstar fell short of making it two AL MVPs in a row Thursday, it says a lot that the voters were impressed enough by his 2022 season to deny Judge a unanimous vote. He arguably deserved as much, given that he led the AL in a lot more than just home runs for a New York Yankees club that won 99 games.
