The Major League announced the April 2025 Player of the Month, with Yankees captain Aaron Judge named the American League Player of the Year and Metropolis "Polar Bear" Alonso named the National League Player of the Year. Judge was unanimously elected, tying Yankees predecessor Alex Rodriguez for the 10th time in his career and second only to the 13 home run kings Barry Bonds in major league history. Alonso is a first-time player and the first Metropolis to be selected in more than two years.
Judge started the season in an astonishing manner, batting percentage of 0.427 (50 hits), 10 hits, 32 RBIs, 21 four-bad drives, a 0.521 base percentage, and a 1.282 overall attack index.
The opposing pitcher was reluctant to risk a head-to-head showdown with Judge, but he was still able to take advantage of one of the few opportunities to hit a hit, and his batting percentage was 50 percent in nearly 50 strokes before May. In just over 1 month, he has accumulated 2.9 victory contribution points (WAR), and usually reaching 10 at the end of the season is a solid MVP, and Judge was unanimously elected as the MVP of the American League with 10.8 votes last season.
Alonso, who is also in New York, has a batting percentage of 0.343, 7 hits, 28 RBIs, 11 second home runs, and 23 four-bad RBIs, WAR has accumulated to 2.2, and he played 162 games last season with only 2.6, and this season has a good chance of playing a career year. Alonso's unfortunate performance was that he didn't play well in the contract year, and finally only stayed at the Mets for two years and $54 million, which is a 1+1 escapable contract, so this year's performance is very important.
