A Yankee sits atop the American League Most Valuable Player mountain. Aaron Judge was voted the 2022 winner of the award a couple months ago after an incredible season that saw him hit an AL-record 62 home runs and at points was almost single-handedly carrying a Yankees team that won 99 games. We’re obviously a little biased, but he very much deserved the award. The BBWAA voters agreed, and Judge got 28 out of a possible 30 first-place votes, and finished clearly ahead of second-placed Shohei Ohtani.
I mention “first-place votes” because as you may know, MVP ballots consist of voters listing their top 10 players in order, which leads to many players officially getting votes every year.
