Baseball Reference<\/em><\/a>. Ohtani\u2019s WAR, which factors in both his pitching and hitting, is 8.7. At FanGraphs, it’s a wider gap between the two, with Judge at 9.9 and Ohtani at 8.6. Both are outstanding and are easily the top two in the majors this season. However, that also shows just how valuable Judge has been for the Yankees this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nAnother factor in Judge\u2019s favor is team success.
