Yordan Alvarez won the American League MVP unanimously, becoming the third Astro to earn the award after a historic season at the plate. He captured the AL batting title and led the league in on-base percentage, slugging, OPS, and several other offensive categories.

By the Numbers
  • .316 batting average; .432 on-base percentage; .601 slugging percentage
  • 1.033 OPS, 7.2 offensive WAR, 341 total bases, 109 walks and 77 extra-base hits
  • 42 home runs and 106 RBIs, both career highs
  • 33 intentional walks, breaking Jeff Bagwell’s Astros record of 27
  • Third player since 1970 to win the AL batting title with at least 40 home runs
Yes, But

Alvarez finished second in the AL in RBIs and tied for second in home runs, underscoring that his MVP case rested on a broad, all-around offensive performance—not leading every headline category.

Bottom Line

Alvarez’s unanimous win caps a season in which he combined elite hitting across the board with career-best power, adding his name to the Astros’ short list of MVPs.
