MLB REVEALED 2022 AL and NL Most Valuable Player finalists
2022 MLB AL Finalists - Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, and Yordan Alvarez.
MLB- On Monday night, Major League Baseball’s Writer’s Association of American League MVP released the name of its Top 3 players. The elite finalists are outfielder Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees, pitcher Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels, and Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez.
Throughout the seasons, Ohtani and Judge have performed historically on the field, marking them as strong competitors for each other. During the summer, Judge set a record of 62 homers, while topping AL-best figures with 131 RBI, 133 runs, 111 walks, a .425 slugging percentage, and a .686 slugging percentage.
On the other hand, Ohtani’s playstyle improvement reached a whole new level, as he touched success in both the roles as a hitter and a pitcher. He was the unanimous choice for the AL MVP award last year. His record followed 34 homers with .273 hitting, 95 RBIs, 90 runs, and 11 stolen bases.
Alvarez came 2nd in all three categories with scores of .306 hitting, a .406 on-base percentage, and a .613 slugging percentage. He shot 37 homers, hitting 97 runs with a score of 95. His recent historic performance at the World Series against the Phillies should also be held into account, as he blasted a 450-foot off Phillies pitcher Jose Alvarado.

Coming down to the finalists of the National League Most Valuable Player Award, St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, third baseman Nolan Arenado, and San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado made the cut.

Machado also finished in the top 5 of MVP awards thrice, twice for the Baltimore Orioles and once for the San Diego Padres.
