Bobby Witt Jr. of the Royals gained on Aaron Judge of the Yankees in extra-base hits and total bases as Judge collect a double in the 7-1 Red Sox win, and Witt hit a double and a home run in a 5-1 win over the Pirates. Entering today, Judge led led Witt in extra-base hits by three and total bases by eight. Those leads are down to two and four.

Witt currently owns a .333/.385/.599 slash line to Judge’s .321/.453/.687 line. Witt is more likely to get a hit, but Judge swamps Witt in walks. Since they have about the same number of plate appearances (Witt leads by one), Judge’s AB denominator for slugging percentage is smaller, driving up the average with about the same number of total bases.

Judge as the offensive side won, but that’s a lot of power from a shortstop. We’ll see if the voters are sway by the position difference if the EXBH number stay this close.
