[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] In the second game of the American League Division Series, the Yankees lost to the Guardians at home today, and the series was tied. The top star "Judge" Aaron Judge had 8 teams and 0 in 2 games. The sluggish performance of swallowing 7K and only getting 1 walk was also ridiculed by the US Internet: "Jagie and Otani Shohei now have the same number of hits in the playoffs (both 0), and this year's American League MVP battle must be very close!" "Judge gulps 7K more than Daegu in the playoffs, but the media will tell you that Jaggie is the MVP."

In fact, the MVP was voted by 30 reporters from the Baseball Writers Guild of America at the end of the regular season.

The oldest baseball magazine in the United States, Baseball Digest, also announced yesterday that they believe that this season's MVP winner, as a fielder, they chose Jagie, who hit a new record in the American League with 62 hits in the regular season this season. Otani missed the award for two consecutive years, and the Japanese media commented: "Otani has already swallowed one defeat in the annual MVP competition."

This selection is the outpost of the Baseball Writers Association of America to select the MVP of the year. It was voted by 22 media people and former players. Jaggi won 18 first-place votes, with a total score of 62 points.

Otani received 4 first-place, 16 second-place and 1 third-place votes.

Since 2000, only three players have won the award without winning a major league MVP, including the 2006 Yankees Jeter.

As for the pitching category, the media's MVP was Marlins ace Alcantara, the Astros Verlander ranked second, and Shohei Otani ranked sixth.

AL MVP race update: Judge and Ohtani have the same number of hits in the playoffs. It's gonna be close.
