The accolades continue to roll in for New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge after a historic 2024 campaign. On Saturday, Judge was named the MLB Player of the Year as voted on by his peers. Judge beat out fellow finalists Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals and World Series rival Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The awards are voted on by a secret ballot of MLB players and was first handed out in 1998. Winners of the awards receive a sum of prize money that is donated to a charity of their choice.
