Judge, 32, hit .322 with 58 home runs and 144 RBIs in the regular season, helping the Yankees win an AL-leading 94 games.

Judge collected all 30 first-place votes from the BBWAA electorate. Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. collected all 30 second-place votes.
“I honestly wouldn’t be in this position without my teammates, all the coaching we had this year,” Judge told the MLB Network panel. “This is such a blessing. I have to thank God every day to be here, wear pinstripes, and be here in New York.”
It is the second AL MVP award of Judge’s career. He also won the award in 2022.
“It means a lot,” he said. “There’s a lot of hard work in the offseason, during the season the ups and downs throughout it, and just the constant support from teammates, the fans in New York — just everybody to help me get to this spot.”
