Aaron Judge received the ultimate reward for one of the greatest seasons in New York Yankees history – He was named the 2022 AL MVP.
Judge is a free agent after turning down a seven-year, $213 million extension offer that the Yankees chose to publicize before the start of the season. Their public stance: Tell us you’re worth more than this.He led the major leagues in home runs, RBI , runs scored , on-base and slugging percentage , total bases , OPS and adjusted OPS .
Ohtani narrowly missed out on a second MVP, and Judge can relate. He finished second to Jose Altuve in 2017, hitting 52 home runs to unanimously earn Rookie of the Year honors. The four seasons that followed were a potpourri of greatness interspersed with injury battles and occasional inconsistency for the Yankees’ 6-7 slugger. But in 2021, Judge pulled it all back together again, hitting 39 home runs in 148 games and putting together his most productive season since his rookie campaign.
