Only one National League hitter batted .300 or better this season

And it was Trea Turner at .304

Six players in the AL achieved that feat: Aaron Judge (.331), Bo Bichette (.311), Jacob Wilson (.311), George Springer (.309), Jeremy Pena (.304) and Yandy Diaz (.300).

The AL is ahead in every offensive stat. BTW, look at that Aaron Judge number, a full twenty points better than anyone else in the majors. Yet he might not win MVP, because Cal Raleigh has made such an impression. Either man could win, and debate would rage about how the other deserved it more. That kind of season.

Doesn't really make sense that pitching would be better in either league, but I see no other way to explain it.

for the first half of the season, or so, there was a lot of chatter about whether Judge could hit .400 this year. He was flirting with it for quite a while.

No easy feat!
