‘The best pitcher is the top 10 slugger’ Ohtani, 2nd MVP straight

adminUncategorized

Ohtani Shohei (29, LA Angels), who was expected to win the American League ERA title in the 2023 season, was listed in the top 10 best hitters.

On the 29th (Korean time), MLB.com, the official website of Major League Baseball, announced the 10 best hitters ahead of the opening of the 2023 season.

Aaron Judge (31, New York Yankees)카지노 rose to the top spot. Judge set the American League single-season home run record with 62 homers last year.

The uninjured Judge is the best hitter in the major leagues. He not only hit 62 home runs last year, but also recorded a batting average of 0.311, an on-base percentage of 0.425, and an OPS of 1.111.

The representative attack indicator, wRC+, reached a whopping 207, and the ISO, which shows pure long hitting power, was also very high at 0.375. Last year’s jersey was perfect.

The New York Yankees gave Judge a 9-year, $360 million contract. What the New York Yankees want from Judge is 50+ homers without injuries.

Mike Trout (32, LA Angels) came in second. Trout is said to be past his prime, but he is still the best hitter in the league.

The problem is injuries. The last time Trout played more than 150 games was in 2016. Since then, Trout has suffered from big and small injuries every year.

After that, Jordan Alvarez (26, Houston Astros), Juan Soto (25, San Diego Padres), and Paul Goldschmidt (36, St. Louis Cardinals) rose to the 3rd to 5th places.

What is surprising is that Ohtani, who was expected to be the ERA title holder in the 2023 season, came in 6th. Ohtani’s greatness can be confirmed here as well.

Ohtani recorded a batting average of 0.273, 34 homers, 95 RBIs, 90 runs, 160 hits, and an on-base percentage of 0.356 OPS of 0.875 in 157 games as a hitter last year.

This is a shame that the home run has decreased slightly compared to the last 2021 years that won the MVP. However, it is evaluated that Ohtani still has the power to become the home run king.

If Judge wins the American League ERA title, as predicted by MLB.com, and finishes a decent 6th best slugger, he will win his second MVP award.

In addition, Freddie Freeman (34, LA Dodgers), Manny Machado (31, San Diego), Julio Rodriguez (22, Seattle Mariners), and Nolan Arenado (32, St. Louis) rose from 7th to 10th.
