Following last year, the two major league players were unanimously named MVP. Bobby Witt Jr. (24) showed amazing performance but failed to win a single top spot vote.메이저놀이터

The U.S. MLB Network reported on the 22nd (Korea time) that Ohtani and Judge were selected as National League and American League MVP, respectively.

This was foreseen. It was difficult for any player to prevent Judge Ohtani from winning the title. What was surprising was that both players won the title by unanimous decision.

First of all, Ohtani overcame the weakness of the designated hitter to achieve the grand feat of winning the title three times in total. Ohtani is the only one who won the title more than two times.

In Judge's case, unanimity seemed to be difficult because Wit Jr., who was the last three MVP, had such an outstanding performance. A case similar to the one in 2022.

However, Judge won the MVP award in a unanimous vote. As a result, Witt Jr. had the best season for shortstop in the 21st century, but did not get a single top vote in MVP voting.

Wit Jr. hit .332 with 32 home runs, 109 RBIs, 125 runs, 211 hits, 31 steals, and a 0.389 OPS 0.977 on-base percentage in 161 games this season.

In addition, Wit Jr. showed amazing performance with FWAR 10.3 by adding perfect defense and excellent base running. This is the highest number among shortstop in the 21st century.

In modern baseball, the only shortstop to outperform wit junior's fwAR is Calipken Jr.'s 10.6 in 1991. Prior to that, there was the Honors Wagner in the early 1900 s.

Nevertheless, it is difficult for Judge to win the MVP award because Judge posted a new career high of 11.2 FWAR. Judge's wRC+ stands at a whopping 218.

No one expected Judge to win the prize. However, it was hard to predict that Wit Jr. would not win any first place votes.

Wit Jr., who became the most unfair MVP in the history of Major League Baseball, is the only comforting factor that he did not yield the second-place vote to any player in this vote.
