NY Yankee Aaron Judge Wins MVP Award

The New York Yankees star was voted the unanimous winner by the 30-person BBWAA voting body, his first time receiving every first-place vote.

The voting was also unanimous for second place, with Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals sweeping the second-place votes. Judge’s teammate Juan Soto, Gunnar Henderson of the Baltimore Orioles and José Ramírez of the Cleveland Guardians all received third-place votes.

Judge joins Mickey Mantle (1956) as the only Yankees players to win MVP unanimously.

It was an extraordinary season for Judge, who posted career highs in all three slash line numbers at .322/.458/.701 while clubbing 58 home runs, four short of his AL season record and what many consider to be the clean record.

Los Angeles Dodger Shohei Ohtani won the National League MVP award, garnering all 30 first-place votes for a unanimous decision.
