Aaron Judge (+225)
Judge enters 2026 as the clear frontrunner after winning back-to-back AL MVPs. When healthy, he’s still the most dominant power bat in the league, capable of leading in home runs and OPS. The case is simple: if he plays 150+ games, he’s the standard everyone else is chasing.
Bobby Witt Jr. (+550)
Witt finished top 5 in voting last season and continues to trend upward as one of the most complete players in baseball. Power, speed, and defensive value give him multiple paths to winning the award. If Kansas City stays competitive, his all-around production could push him over the top.
Cal Raleigh (+850)
After finishing second in MVP voting, Raleigh proved he’s more than just a power-hitting catcher. He led the league with 60 home runs, breaking the record by the catcher. His offensive production at a premium position gives him a strong narrative advantage. If Seattle makes another deep run, he’ll be squarely in the conversation again.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (+1300)
Guerrero’s 13th-place finish doesn’t reflect the impact he had, helping power Toronto all the way to the World Series. When he’s locked in, he can carry an offense and change a lineup’s entire identity. If the elite power numbers return over a full season, he’ll be right back in the center of the MVP race.
Julio Rodríguez (+1300)
Rodríguez offers a dynamic blend of power and speed, with the ability to flirt with 30/30 seasons. His impact stretches beyond the box score thanks to elite athleticism in center field. If he strings together consistency for a full 162 games, his ceiling is as high as anyone’s.
Nick Kurtz (+1500)
Nick Kurtz had an unbelievable rookie season, becoming the unanimous rookie of the year and racking up 36 home runs. He became the first rookie in MLB history to hit four home runs in a single game!
José Ramírez (+1500)
Ramírez finished third in 2025 and remains one of the most consistently productive players in the league. He fills every column of the stat sheet and rarely slumps for long stretches. If Cleveland contends, his all-around value becomes impossible to ignore.
Gunnar Henderson (+1600)
Henderson enters 2026 without a prior MVP finish but with serious upside. His combination of power and positional value makes him one of the more intriguing young candidates. If Baltimore contends and his numbers spike, he could surge quickly.
Roman Anthony (+1700)
Roman Anthony is one of the more shocking players on this list, having played just 71 games in his MLB career. He finished third in rookie of the year voting, but has major potential as the top hitter on a contending Boston team.
Junior Caminero (+2200)
Caminero’s raw power gives him one of the highest offensive ceilings in the league. If he pushes into the 35–40 home run range while tightening up his approach, voters will take notice. Sustained production, not just flashes, is what could turn him into a true contender.
