Overview

  • Shohei Ohtani captured the NL MVP unanimously with all 30 first-place votes, becoming a four-time winner and joining Barry Bonds as the only players with more than three.
  • Ohtani posted a 1.014 OPS with 55 home runs and returned to the mound in June, recording a 2.87 ERA and 62 strikeouts in 47 innings to reinforce his two-way value.
  • Aaron Judge won the AL MVP in a tight vote over Cal Raleigh, taking 17 first-place votes to Raleigh’s 13 and finishing 355–335 in total points for his third MVP in four years.
  • Judge led MLB with a .331 average to win the AL batting title and topped key metrics including OPS, wRC+ and fWAR while hitting 53 home runs.
  • Raleigh’s 60 home runs set single-season records for a catcher and a switch-hitter, a milestone that defined the AL race even as prediction markets heavily favored Judge before the reveal.
