Though Aaron Judge is likely to win the AL MVP, it’s been Giancarlo Stanton who has been the Yankees’ premier slugger this postseason.

Stanton entered Game 1 of the World Series batting .294 with five home runs and a 1.179 OPS. He’d also hit home runs in three straight games — and extended that streak to four Friday night.

Stanton’s 17 postseason homers are fourth all-time in Yankees history.

Judge led the major leagues with 58 homers and 144 RBIs, hitting .322. He also won both awards in 2022.

Ohtani became the first player with 50 homers and 50 stolen bases, batting .310 with 54 homers, 130 RBIs and 59 steals. He was voted the AL’s outstanding player in 2021 and 2023 when he was with the Los Angeles Angels and won the overall player of the year in 2021.

Milwaukee first baseman Rhys Hoskins won the Marvin Miller man of the year award, given to a player whose leadership inspires others, and the philanthropist of the year award. Along with wife Jayme, Hoskins has raised over $1 million for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

As the ball was coming down, a fan reached out over the railing and snagged it in his glove. For a moment, it appeared as a home run to put the Yankees ahead 3-2.
