Aaron Judge Favored to Win Third AL MVP After Dominant 53-Homer Campaign

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is widely expected to secure his third career AL MVP Award following an exceptional 2025 season. Judge posted a dominant .331/.457/.688 slash line, hitting 53 home runs, driving in 114 runs, and achieving a 215 OPS+ with 9.7 bWAR. While Cal Raleigh surpassed him in home runs and RBI, Judge's superior batting average and OPS are considered overwhelming factors. Judge, who was a unanimous MVP winner in 2024, is on an incredible run. His potential third MVP would mark the 23rd time a Yankees player has won the award, further solidifying the franchise's leading position in MVP history.
