Aaron Judge is probably having his career-best season in 2022. Not only from the plate, but the New York Yankees star has also been phenomenal on the field in the current season. In a recent game against the LA Angels, Aaron Judge did something extraordinary that left Shohei Ohtani wondering.

Notably, the Yankees are playing a three-game series against the Angels. Fans are considering this a clash between the reigning AL MVP Shohei Ohtani and possibly the next AL MVP, Aaron Judge. Given both players have been outstanding for their respective teams, it will be difficult to decide the winner of the AL MVP Award this season.

However, amidst the debate about the next AL MVP, Aaron Judge won his battle against Shohei Ohtani in the first game of the series.

Aaron Judge uses his height to deny Shohei Ohtani a home run

Despite getting a good start to the 2022 season, the LA Angels have lost their momentum, as they have not been in their top form recently. New York Yankees, on the other hand, have been rock-solid in the American League. The Yankees handed a sixth consecutive defeat to the Angels on Tuesday.

Be it from the mound or the plate, the Pinstripes dominated the Angels throughout the game. Even the reigning AL MVP Shohei Ohtani could not help the Angels win the game. Thanks to Judge, whose stunning gameplay in the field denied Ohtani of his home run.

Taking to Twitter, the New York Yankees shared a video of the same. In the video, one can see how Judge uses his 6 foot 7 height to grab the ball at the wall. The Yankees star simply denied a possible home run to Ohtani.

Who will win the AL MVP Award this year?

Unlike the last season, the competition is pretty high for the Japanese star in 2022. Because, with 18 home runs and a batting average of 0.303, Judge is in a league of his own. Talking about Ohtani, he also has 11 home runs and 63 strikeouts in his name.

Given the data, it will be difficult for either of them to win the AL MVP Award. But there are still over 100 games to play this season, so anything is possible. Considering their performances till now, who do you think deserves to win the AL MVP?
