There are many reasons why the Philadelphia Phillies signed Turner to an 11-year, $300 million contract. The 29-year-old last season in Los Angeles ranked best in the league for his Dodgers’ RBI, RBI, stolen bases, batting average, and FanGraphs offensive rating. He also finished third in fWAR among shortstops and was a force in the postseason, posting six hits and two home runs in four games.<\/p>\n

Arenado’s second campaign with the St. Louis Cardinals was much better than his first. The 31-year-old is batting, on-base and slugging better than he did in 2021, and has more hits and doubles in fewer games. These improvements, combined with 30 home runs and his 103 RBI earned him his third-place finish in NL MVP.

San Diego led his Padres in the category. The 30-year-old also continued to make defense look easy, with above-average outs taking him third among third basemen.<\/p>\n

It was always difficult for Ohtani to top the 2021 MVP campaign, but 2022 was definitely a good year. His fWAR, which totaled 9.4, was higher than his 8.0 the previous season, and his excellent pitching has been his most of his year. success. Ohtani’s 11.9 K\/9 put him second among starting pitchers who pitched over 160 innings, and his 2.40 FIP put him third. He also allowed two or fewer earned runs in 23 of his 28 starts and set career-best marks in home runs allowed and BB\/9. And he still had 34 home runs, 30 doubles, 6 triples, and 95 RBIs in his at-bats.<\/p>\n

Postseason stats:<\/strong> 9 GP, 2 HR, 3 RBI, .490 OPS<\/p>\n

There is no doubt that 2022 was the year of the judges. The slugger bet on himself after failing to negotiate a contract with the New York Yankees before the season opener, and it paid off. Judges also credited him with $146.5 million thanks to a ridiculous campaign that included his record-breaking 62 homers, 131 RBI, .426 on-base percentage, .686 slugging percentage, and his MLB-leading 11.4 fWAR.
