There’s a lot of talent headlining both the American League and National League MVP races, but Bryce Harper and Aaron Judge are making the most noise. That shouldn’t be hard to believe with how well-known these star players are, but they’ve backed up the interest by putting up big numbers.
Harper of the Philadelphia Phillies has a 2.4 WAR, a .317 batting average, 15 home runs, 46 RBI, and a 1.ooo OPS. It’s hard to ignore those numbers in the NL MVP race, and the public hasn’t. He leads the charge with 15.4% of tickets. It’s not like this is the first year Harper has been good in a Phillies uniform, either.
