Jeff Passan Weighs Aaron Judge vs. Cal Raleigh in MVP Debate

Passan said he’d vote Judge for MVP but praised Raleigh’s “incredibly impressive” run. He emphasized the grind “159 games at that position,” and Raleigh’s 58 homers, which can still touch 60. Still, Judge’s 175-point OPS edge is decisive. “He’s the best hitter in Major League Baseball,” Passan said, marveling at Judge’s sustained dominance and ability to improve every year.
