There was no disagreement over Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees being recognized as the best player. Judge was named the 2024 American League MVP following 2022.

Major League Baseball (MLB) announced the results of its 2024 AL MVP vote through MLB Network on the 22nd (Korea time). All 30 BBWAA voting members gave Judge the first-place vote. Judge, who received 420 points by sweeping all the first-place votes, won the honor by overwhelmingly beating 270 points of Bobby Witt Jr. (Kansas City Royals), who took all the second-place votes. Juan Soto, who was Judge's team mate, followed with 21 third-place votes, seven fourth-place votes, and two fifth-place votes. 메이저놀이터

He had already won the honor. Having played in 158 games this season, Judge displayed unrivaled performance with a batting average of 0.322 with 144 RBIs and 122 runs and 180 hits, and an on-base plus slugging percentage of 0.701 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) of 1.159. He ranked first in home runs, RBIs, runs scored, on-base percentage, slugging percentage and OPS. The number of home runs fell short of that of two years ago, but he left batting productivity higher than that of the previous year amid an environment of pitching and hitting.

Despite this, unanimous agreement did not seem easy. Judge failed to win a unanimous vote in 2022 due to Shohei Ohtani's season to play the game as stipulated at-bats and innings. Wit Jr. also played as shortstop with 30 homers and 30 steals this season, threatening Judge.

However, all voters ruled in favor of Judge without exception.
