(AmericanProsperity.com) – Cementing his name on every sports history book, New York Yankees powerhouse Aaron Judge has received his second American League MVP award after a dazzling 2024 season.
Leading the league with 58 home runs, Judge’s dominance at the plate was undeniable and reflected a season of remarkable achievements.
He scored a league-leading 58 homers, a career-best .322 batting average, 144 RBIs and a 1.159 OPS.
This stellar performance made him an undeniable choice for the MVP. He earned all 30 first-place votes, received 420 points and overshadowed runner-up Bobby Witt Jr. and Juan Soto.
Despite Judge’s stunning regular season, his postseason performance also left fans questioning the Yankees’ strategy.
His .752 OPS and 20 strikeouts over 64 plate appearances did little to push the Yankees past their October hurdles.
A major error in Game 5 of the World Series helped the Dodgers score five unearned runs, highlighting a contrast between Judge’s regular season and his postseason struggles.
Driving the Yankees to a 94-68 record—the best in the American League—and a World Series appearance, Judge’s season was historic.
His OPS+ of 223 ranks among the all-time greats, overshadowed only by legends like Barry Bonds, Babe Ruth and Ted Williams.
This marks the third time Judge has hit over 50 home runs in a season, earning him a pot in the ranks of baseball’s elite.
Despite the playoff disappointments, Judge’s 2024 season remains one of the most impressive in recent memory, comparable only to Bonds’ 2004 season.
The Yankees and Judge’s fans hope this regular-season success can translate into a World Series triumph, helping Judge secure both the elusive World Series ring and a lasting legacy.
