The 2022 AL MVP race is coming down to a guy who may break a record in a Triple Crown run and another who is an elite hitter and pitcher. Marcus Stroman has his pick.
Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees, left, and Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels look on from the dugout before the All-Star Game at Dodger Stadium on July 19, 2022, in Los Angeles.
Stroman added that both Judge and Ohtani are deserving of the award and that"There's no wrong option.""If he continues to hit 30+ homeruns and strikeout 200+ hitters a year…then yes he should win the MVP each and every year!" he wrote, arguing that what Judge is doing has been done before — but not Ohtani.
His offensive numbers have taken a slight hit , but his average is 18 points higher than last year's .257. And on the mound, he has gotten much better. He leads the American League with an 11.9 K/9 , and his 2.35 ERA is the sixth lowest in baseball., the largest ever for an arbitration-eligible player.
But Judge broke Roger Maris' American League record with his 62nd home run of the season on Tuesday that many consider the true all-time record due to Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa's links to PEDs. He also leads MLB in on-base percentage, slugging percentage, total bases, OPS+ and runs scored while leading the AL in RBI and walks.
