The New York Yankees very well may have their next American League MVP.
This is all being done with ace Gerrit Cole on the mound, though all indications are pointing towards him returning sooner rather than later. A scary proposition for the rest of the American League.
But one Yankees superstar has taken it upon himself to help carry the team. New arrival Juan Soto, who was traded from theSoto is currently slashing .316/.415/.551 with 11 home runs and is setting the pace for the American League in games played and plate appearances. After New York experienced a terrible year at the plate in 2023, it is refreshing to see Soto breathe life into the unit and pair well with fellow superstar Aaron Judge.
Meanwhile, Judge is fourth in the MVP poll with three first place votes. The former AL MVP is currently slashing .271/.406/.582 with 13 of his signature home runs. "So much for that slow start. After slashing .197/.331/.393 through May 2, Judge has put together a sizzling stretch over his past 16 games, hitting .436 with seven homers, 10 doubles, 14 RBIs and a 1.563 OPS. He now ranks second among AL qualifiers with a .988 OPS on the year, behind only Tucker."
If both superstars can keep up with their current pace, then there is a better than even chance the Yankees will have their next MVP, not to mention a potential deep postseason run.Kade Kistner is an editor for Sports Illustrated's Inside the Phillies.
