NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees has won the American League MVP award, and St. Louis Cardinals slugger Paul Goldschmidt took the NL prize.

After hitting 62 home runs this season to break the AL record, Judge easily beat out Los Angeles Angels two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani in an MVP race some thought might be close.

The 6-foot-7 outfielder received 28 of 30 first-place votes and two seconds for 410 points from a Baseball Writers’ Association of America panel.

Ohtani, last year’s winner, was picked first on two ballots and second on the other 28 for 280 points.

Goldschmidt won the NL award for the first time after a couple of close calls earlier in his career.

Padres third baseman Manny Machado came in second.
