Judge hit 53 home runs and batted .331, beating out Seattle Mariners' Cal Raleigh, whose 60 home runs broke several records, including most by a catcher and a switch-hitter.
Despite having seven fewer home runs, Judge's .457 on base percentage, and .688 slugging percentage, were well above Raleigh, whose on base and slugging percentages were .359 and .589 respectively.
The 2025 MVP Award marks Judge's third, which have all come in the past four seasons.
Judge won his first during his historic 2022 campaign in which he broke the American League single-season home run record with 62 home runs, and then a second last season after hitting 58 home runs and 144 RBIs.
He's the first AL player to win back-to-back MVPs since Detroit's Miguel Cabrera it in 2012 and 2013, and is now the 11th player in MLB history to win three MVP awards.
Meanwhile in the National League, Los Angeles Dodgers' two-way star Shohei Ohtani, picked up his fourth MVP Award on Thursday.
For Ohtani, it's his third straight MVP, and his second in the NL with the Dodgers after two in the AL with the Angels. He became the first to win in each league twice after getting the AL honor in 2021 and 2023.
