His offensive explosion isn’t just power—he’s hitting better, getting on base more, and posting a higher OPS than last year, making him a legitimate MVP candidate and Triple Crown contender. Pitchers are walking him more than anyone in MLB, and he’s crushing it with runners in scoring position. Leading the AL in homers and RBIs, second in average, Alvarez is chasing one of baseball’s rarest honors—something last achieved by Miguel Cabrera in 2012.
