Judge had the rare year that would knock Ohtani off the pedestal.
Baseball Reference WAR
Judge 10.6, Ohtani 9.0
Fangraphs WAR
Judge 11.4, Ohtani 9.4
I'm not a slave to WAR by any means. But dissecting it closely, Judge was in the vicinity with Ohtani and any voter that voted for Judge had a perfectly good case to vote for him.
