Judge has a big lead in WAR and crushes all the hitting efficiency statistics but has fallen off in the traditional Triple Crown stats he was pushing for before the injury. Good chance he won't lead the league in any of those by the time the season is over.
I'm a believer in the analytics but also have a very healthy respect for the difficulty of the catcher position and regardless of whether his defense is off this year, compared to years past, I wonder if it's just a statistical anomaly or if he has some nagging injury that is affecting him defensively this year.
He's always proven himself capable in that aspect in the past. He's not exactly Mike Piazza back there.
It's going to ultimately come down to these last few weeks and whether one of them (and their team) get on a hot streak or not.
As a Yankee fan I had no issue when Altuve beat out Judge in 2017, and I'd have no problem with Raleigh winning it this year.
