Bobby Witt Jr. (+500)
If Bobby Witt Jr. were in the NL, he'd likely be the frontrunner for MVP. However, he's competing against Aaron Judge, who is currently experiencing one of the most impressive power-hitting periods in MLB history.
Nonetheless, Witt leads the league with the highest batting average (.349), most hits (162), runs (99), total bases (281), and fWAR (8.1). Should Judge falter, Witt is poised to claim the AL MVP. Even if he doesn't, the 24-year-old is expected to consistently contend for the award in the years to come.
