A post from ESPN Radio has sparked a heated debate over who deserves the edge for MLB’s MVP title: the Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani or the Yankees’ Aaron Judge. The discussion centered on the idea that if there were only one MVP award for all of MLB, Judge would have the upper hand.

ESPN Radio posted on its official X (formerly Twitter) account a segment from the program Get Up, where content producer Paul Hembekides passionately shared his views.

Hembekides said that if there were only one MVP award for all of MLB, Aaron Judge would definitely win it. He was surprised that some people online or elsewhere considered Shohei Ohtani’s season more valuable.

Regarding Ohtani becoming the first player in history to achieve 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases, Hembekides acknowledged the significance of the milestone, showing respect for the accomplishment. However, he emphasized that Aaron Judge’s current hitting stats rank among the top 10 or 12 in MLB history, asserting that Judge is generating more value than not only Ohtani but every other player in the league.

Judge set a Major League record this season with 58 home runs, surpassing Ohtani by four. He also led in RBIs with 144, 14 more than Ohtani, and boasted a batting average of .322, higher than Ohtani’s .310. Meanwhile, Ohtani outperformed Judge in slugging percentage, total bases, and stolen bases, with 99 extra-base hits, 411 total bases, and 59 stolen bases. As both Ohtani and Judge continue to deliver standout performances in their respective leagues, the debate comparing the two players’ seasons intensifies.
