2022 MLB Review Trivia Quizzes

The 2022 season belonged to history books and October redemption. Aaron Judge rewrote the American League record book with 62 home runs for the Yankees — also leading the majors in RBIs (131) and OPS (1.111) — and claimed AL MVP over Shohei Ohtani. In the National League, Paul Goldschmidt finally captured his first MVP for St. Louis after years as a near-miss, leading the Senior Circuit in OPS (.981) and slugging (.578) while carrying a division-winning Cardinals club.

Pitching returned two unanimous Cy Young winners. Justin Verlander, back from missing all of 2021, went 18–4 with a major-league-best 1.75 ERA for Houston and secured his third Cy Young. Miami’s Sandy Alcantara answered with a unanimous NL Cy Young built on a workhorse 228⅔ innings and a 2.28 ERA — the first Cy Young in Marlins franchise history. Leaderboards filled out the yearbook: Luis Arraez took the AL batting title, Jeff McNeil edged Freddie Freeman for the NL crown at .326, and the midsummer stage returned to Dodger Stadium.

Rookies and the All-Star Game set the tone for October. The American League won 3–2 at Dodger Stadium, with hometown Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton earning MVP on a 457-foot blast. Seattle’s Julio Rodríguez took AL Rookie of the Year with a 28–25 season that announced a new Mariners star, while Atlanta’s Michael Harris II claimed NL Rookie of the Year and helped push the Braves deep into the postseason conversation.

The Fall Classic closed Dusty Baker’s long pursuit of a ring. Philadelphia — an 87-win Wild Card that changed managers midseason — stunned its way to a first pennant since 2009 behind NLCS MVP Bryce Harper. Houston answered by beating the Phillies in six games for the franchise’s second title, powered by Yordan Alvarez’s Game 6 blast and rookie shortstop Jeremy Peña, who became the first rookie position player named World Series MVP. The 2022 MLB Review quizzes cover that full arc — from Judge’s 62 and Verlander’s renaissance to Rodríguez, Harris, and an Astros championship clinched at home.
