Ohtani got robbed. If he wasn't on the Angels, they only win 65 game.
No Joe Judge

And Yankees might have been a .500 ball club.

Or worse.
Should be his second MVP Award

Greatest contract year ever!

Seriously, any sport ever can you think of an athlete having a better season prior to free agency?
Well deserved

You think Mike Trout may have contributed a touch???

I thought Judge deserved it, but I thought Ohtani would get more votes

Why?

One guy almost won the triple crown while breaking a 61 year record on a team that won the best division in baseball basically carrying the team. The other guy was not close and his team came in third place in a weak division. Very good year, absolutely, yes.
Ohtani was a beast

And it still wasn’t close. What a damn season.
Absolutely deserved  
Matt M. : 11/17/2022 9:18 pm : link
I was pleasantly surprised it wasn't even close. I thought more writers would vote for Ohtani. I'm glad they didn't. He may be unique, but he isn't as good or valuable as Judge. His WAR is crazy.

But, for me, it was a breakdown of the second half that seals it. Judge's split after the All Star break was something like .349/.502/.745. Insane. But, even more important, the rest of the lineup was .220/.3something/.3something. He literally carried an otherwise bottom of the league lineup. And a ton of walk off hits.
Yankees win 99 games, Angels win 73

It always seemed to me a player should be considered valuable only if a team has a winning season. Judge was valuable. Ohtani had a great season. Like Pirates general manager Branch Rickey allegedly said to Ralph Kiner who was asking for more money, "We finished last with you, we can finish last without you."

I didn't know Joe Judge played for the Yankees.
Haha.

My Ohtani comment was sarcasm. Haha. Judge rightfully won.
Glad the voters got it right  
JoeyBigBlue : 11/18/2022 9:52 am : link
Also fuck Ben Verlander and his “Ohtani had the greatest baseball season of All Time” narrative he was pushing the last 2 months.
well deserved

I'm in the camp that believes that Ohtani, if healthy, deserves the MVP nearly every year. I saw a stats equivalent comparing his numbers to Stanton as a hitter and Scherzer (I think) as a pitcher. A player that good at both hitting and pitching is going to be MVP pretty much every year, unless there is another player with an absolutely incredible year. Judge had one of those years, and deserved it.

I really agree with this. What Ohtani has been doing is incredibly valuable, and seasons like that will deserve the MVP most years. Judge had a historically great season, and easily deserved it this year.
I didn't think I'd see a Yankee season

better than A-Rod's 2007 season. That was A-Rod at his best, 54/156/.314 with plus speed (24 steals) and fielding.

Yet here comes Judge with a season even a tier above that. His basic hitting stats match or exceed A-Rod despite it being a much lower run scoring environment in 2022 compared to 2007. Not only that, but A-Rod had a far superior lineup protecting him. Judge also has pretty good speed and fielding.

A-Rod's 2007 was an All-Time Yankee season. Judge's 2022 will go down as an All-Time Baseball season.
It was an amazing season

watching Judge mash the ball. Congratulations and well deserved.
