No. 44's first time as an AL MVP finalist didn't end with a win, but he'll certainly take a World Series ring as consolation.
The verdict on who wound up as the American League Most Valuable Player on Thursday sided with a Judge, but Yordan Alvarez's placement among the three finalists can't be ignored.
Alvarez finish third in the AL MVP vote behind the winner, Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge, and the runner-up, Angels pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani. Relive the joy and excitement of the Astros' 2022 World Series championship parade celebration in the video above.The Houston Astros slugger remained in the MVP conversation throughout 2022 for his consistent hitting. The 26-year-old Cuban finished in the top four in batting average and top three in home runs during the regular season.
Alvarez was also one of just two AL hitters with an on-base percentage plus slugging over 1.000. The other person is Judge. Alvarez's 37 round-trippers would give him the victory in any other year, but Judge's record-setting 62 was the difference by a country mile.
