Aaron Judge is now the prime topic of discussion in every baseball-related conversation. He is leading the home run tally and all other batting statistical counts. Therefore, considering all circumstances, Judge is also the frontrunner for the American League MVP Award. But one more name that can never get left out of baseball talks is Shohei Ohtani.?

Aaron Judge is an outfielder and swashbuckling batter for the New York Yankees. Judge is a four-time All-Star member. Meanwhile, Shohei Ohtani is a starting pitcher, designated hitter, and occasional outfielder, altogether for the Los Angeles Angels. Ohtani is a two-time All-Star member.?

The race for the MVP award is intensifying day after day. People are weighing in with their own opinions. For some, Judge seems the clear winner, whereas few others believe that Ohtani is more deserving. Therefore, retired star pitcher of Yankees’ frame, CC Sabathia, too joined in the debate with a hilarious take.?

Sabathia’s take on Aaron Judge vs Shohei Ohtani debate?

Aaron Judge is on course to create batting records of his own. He is constantly rewriting baseball history this season. Although, there was a slump in form for the Yankees and Judge after the mid-tournament break. But Judge returned to his dominant ways like a staunch champion and carried his team through.?

On the other hand, Shohei Ohtani hasn’t been as impactful as the last season. But he has still continued to put out some noteworthy performances with the bat and ball alike. Unfortunately, the Angels have been unable to make the best use of his contributions. The Angels remained a failure throughout this season as well and struggled to go past the regular stage.?

Ohtani won the American League MVP Award last season. Now he is amidst stiff competition with Judge for the honor again. So with the debate for the deserving candidate gathering heat, CC Sabathia, stepped in. He picked his winner with a rather hilarious twist.?

Sabathia posted on his Twitter account stating, “Alright alright Yankees fans, we have a deal.”

The Angels already got eliminated from the playoff qualification. So Ohtani will soon wrap up his seasonal campaign along with his team. On the other hand, the Yankees are the top-ranked team in the American League East zone. They have already clinched a playoff berth. Therefore, Judge now has got the best chance to strengthen his claim for an MVP award. But then, only time will tell who will bag the coveted award.?
