Christian Yelich hit .326 with 36 home runs and 110 RBIs, leading the National League in batting average and slugging percentage. J.D. Martinez hit .330 with 43 home runs and 130 RBIs, leading the majors in RBIs and total bases.

Both seasons would fit in perfectly with the best seasons of Hank Aaron's career, so it's fitting the two All-Stars and MVP candidates are the 2018 winners of the Hank Aaron Award for best hitter in each league.
