Judge and Harper were selected side by side as the June AL and NL Player of the Month announced by the MLB Secretariat on the 4th. The same players have been awarded for two consecutive months since May. According to the MLB Secretariat, it is the first time that the same player month has been named Player of the Month for two consecutive months in both leagues.

It is Judge's eighth win. Barry Bonds (13 times) and Alex Rodriguez (10 times) have received more Player of the Month awards than Judge.

Judge displayed remarkable performance in May with a batting average of 0.361, on-base plus slugging percentage of 1.397, and 14 homers and 27 RBIs, but continued his momentum in June. Judge displayed a batting average of 0.409, OPS of 1.378, and 11 homers and 37 RBIs for the month of June.

Harper also posted a formidable performance in June. Throughout the month of June, he had a batting average of 0.374, OPS of 1.166, and seven homers and 16 RBIs. Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers also boasted a batting average of 0.293, OPS of 1.110, and 12 homers and 24 RBIs in June, only to be defeated by Harper. It is the fourth time that Harper has won the Player of the Month award.

Meanwhile, Garrett Crochet (Chicago White Sox) and Christopher Sanchez (Philadelphia Phillies) were selected as this month's pitchers. Both of them are the first in their careers.

Crochet, who is playing the ace of the White Sox, the worst team in the Major League this season, started six games in June and won only one game (one loss), but gave up just six walks with an ERA of 1.91 and 56 strikeouts. Sanchez pitched well with a 1.64 ERA in five starts in June.
