A couple of months ago, a friend and I were discussing the MVP award winner. My friend asked me whether Shohei Ohtani would win the AL MVP award again. Well, I thought Aaron Judge would win the award. Eventually, the 2022 AL MVP award winner is Aaron Judge and Ohtani finished 2nd in the 2022 AL MVP voting.

To run more?
Just a couple of weeks ago, I bought some lucky bags on an online sports card shop. After opening some packs, I found a card that truly surprised me. It’s a relic card with a piece of jersey worn by Ichiro Suzuki. Additionally, I checked on information online and it seems that it’s a 2001 Upper Deck baseball card.

Abreu to the Astros
In late November, Jose Abreu and the Houston Astros agreed to a 3-year deal. Jose Abreu is a 3-time All-Star and in 2020, he won the AL MVP award. Abreu spent 9 years with the White Sox, hitting .292/.354/.506 with 243 home runs and 863 RBI. He’s surely one of the most dangerous hitters in the majors. However, does the Astros front office actually make the right decision to sign with Jose Abreu?

Home Run leader at Globe Life Field
A couple of months ago, I listened to a podcast show and during the interview, a player indicated that he likes to hit at Globe Life Field because he sees baseballs clearly. After listening to the interview, I was wondering whether he did hit a lot of home runs at Globe Life Field.

Jacob deGrom is going to Texas
Earlier this month, Jacob deGrom and the Rangers agreed to a 5-year deal. After spending 9 seasons with the New York Mets, deGrom decided to move to Texas. The Rangers have spent a lot of money signing free agents in the offseason these 2 years. After watching the news that deGrom signed a contract with the Rangers, I was just wondering whether this deal would be a great one.

Pinch hitter
The universal DH rule is back in 2022. Previously, pitchers in the National League games were required to bat and in a game, we frequently saw managers use pinch hitters to replace pitchers. After implementing the universal DH rule, I was wondering whether this rule would dramatically decrease the use of pinch hitters.
