Vote for Voit: Could the Yankees’ first baseman win the AL MVP?

Slimmed down, but still thicc, the 6’3” 255-pound Luke Voit is having the best quasi-full season of his career. After a year-and-a-half of splitting time between his hometown Cardinals’ big league and Triple-A clubs, the team shipped him to New York for Chasen Shreve and Giovanny Gallegos. When healthy, Voit’s been phenomenal for the Yanks, proving himself to be a legitimate perennial candidate for the American League’s first baseman Silver Slugger.

Through three quarters of the 2020 MLB season, Voit leads the Majors in homers with 18 and he’s fourth in RBI with 42.
