3 Reasons Aaron Judge will be the 2022 American League MVP
By
Souvanik Seal Modified 09 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees is a favorite to win AL MVP. The 2022 American League MVP race has essentially turned into an Aaron Judge versus Shohei Ohtani affair. Judge is having the season of his life, and Ohtani continues to wow us with his two-way brilliance.

Ohtani has compiled a .257/.356/.536 slashline with 33 homers in 130 games. Judge, by comparison, has slashed .301/.407/.683 with 55 home runs and 118 RBIs.

In terms of hitting metrics, Judge is way ahead. However, Ohtani has pitching stats to be proud of, which Judge doesn’t.

His current ERA reads 2.58 with a WHIP of 1.044 and an incredible career-best 181 strikeouts in 23 starts. Who deserves the AL MVP crown this year?

55!" - Bleacher Report The Yankees have been a trainwreck since the All-Star break, but Judge has continued to excel. The Yankees have notched 213 homers in total this term.

Judge’s 55 account for more than a quarter of their entire production.

The New York Yankees are no longer a safe bet for the World Series this season.

However, they are at least playoff bound, and a lot of that credit goes to Judge. Even as the Yankees have faltered over long stretches, Judge has consistently delivered with the bat. Ohtani is a once-in-a-lifetime talent, but his talent hasn't translated into a playoff push for the Los Angeles Angels.

Of course, the Angels have an inferior team to the Yankees. No one expected them to be a World Series contender, but they could have posed a Wild Card challenge.

If the Orioles can sustain a playoff push throughout the season, the Angels have absolutely no excuse. The Angels' collective failure is likely going to be factored in, which could ultimately cost Ohtani.

In that case, advantage Judge.

Ten years ago, a certain Mike Trout was in the running for the 2012 AL MVP. He ended up losing to Miguel Cabrera.

Aaron Judge is only the third major leaguer to hit 55 homers through his team’s first 136 games of the season. The others are Sammy Sosa (58 in 1999) and Barry Bonds (57 in 2001).

It’s a matter of when, and not if, Judge will break Maris’ record. Once he has that in the bag, the 2022 AL MVP debate will be well and truly settled.
