Some Other 2025 MLB Awards

Major League Baseball announced various other awards (such as the Comeback Players of the Year) today.

2025 MLB Most Valuable Player (MVP) Awards

Major League Baseball announced it's 2025 Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards today, and here too there were no surprises.

In the American League, Aaron Judge of the Yankees win his 3rd MVP award in a close vote over Mariners' catcher Cal Raleigh. In the National League, Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers won his 4th MVP. This was also Ohtani's 4th unanimous MVP award, and nobody else in MLB history (or in any of the four major US professional sports) has won more than a single unanimous MVP award. In MLB history, Ohtani's four MVP awards is second all time to Barry Bonds' seven MVP awards. Ohtani's four MVP awards have come in a 5-year span, which David Schoenfield recently compared to other all-time 5-year spans in baseball history.

2025 also marks the first time in MLB history that both AL and NL MVP awards were repeat winners from the previous year.

2025 MLB Cy Young Award Winners

Major League Baseball has announced its 2025 Cy Young Award winners, and again there are no surprises. Tarik Skubal beat out Garret Crochet in the American League (and did so slightly more handily than I was expecting) for his second consecutive Cy Young award, and Paul Skenes was a unanimous selection in the National League (with Christopher Sánchez receiving all 2nd-place votes and Yoshinobu Yamamoto finishing in 3rd).

2025 MLB Managers of the Year

Baseball's 2025 Managers of the Year were announced today, and both winners are repeat winners from last year.

Stephen Vogt of the Cleveland Guardians won the American League Manager of the year award for the 2nd year in a row, and Pat Murphy of the Milwaukee Brewers accomplished the same feat in the National League.

2025 MLB Rookies of the Year

Major League Baseball announced its 2025 Rookies of the Year today, and the results in both leagues were the expected ones. Namely, Nick Kurtz of the (West Sacramento) Athletics unanimously (as expected) won the American League Rookie of the Year award, and Drake Baldwin of the Atlanta Braves won the National League Rookie of the Year award.

Major League Baseball's 2025 Silver Slugger Awards

2024 Most Valuable Player (MVP) Awards

Major League Baseball has announced the winners of the 2024 Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards. See this page for the complete distribution of votes.

Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees was the unanimous MVP in the American League, with Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royal receiving all 2nd-place voters. (I believe that the latter has never happened before.) The American League also had several other very strong candidates in an exceptional field. In the National League, Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers was the unanimous MVP. This was his third unanimous MVP. Nobody else in Major League Baseball history has won multiple MVP awards unanimously.

2024 Cy Young Awards

Baseball's 2024 Cy Young awards were announced today. Chris Sale of the Atlanta Braves won in the National League, and Tarik Skubal was a unanimous winner in the American League.

2024 Baseball Managers of the Year

The 2024 Managers of the Year in Major League Baseball are Stephen Vogt of the Cleveland Guardians and Pat Murphy of the Milwaukee Brewers.

2024 Baseball Rookies of the Year

The 2024 Rookies of the Year were announced today. Paul Skenes of the Pirates was the winner of an exceptionally strong rookie class (beating out the two Jacksons) in the National League, and Luis Gil of the Yankees was the winner (barely winning over Colton Cowser of the Orioles) of a much weaker rookie class in the American League.

Various Major League Baseball Awards

Various Major League Baseball awards were announced today. These awards include the Comeback Players of the Year — which were Garrett Crochet in the American League and Chris Sale in he National League — and several others.

The 2023 Hank Aaron Awards for the best offensive player in each league have been awarded to Shohei Ohtani (formerly of the Angels and now of the Dodgers) and Ronald Acuña, Jr. (of the Braves).

Shohei Ohtani Voted Major League Baseball's 2023 Top Designated Hitter

Well, duh.

2023 Relievers of the Year

Félix Bautista of the Baltimore Orioles and Devin Williams of the Milwaukee Brewers are this year's Relievers of the Year in Baseball.

2023 Comeback Players of the Year

Reliever Liam Hendricks of the Chicago White Sox and outfielder (and also infielder, when he was with the Dodgers) Cody Bellinger of the Chicago Cubs have been named Baseball's 2023 Comeback Players of the Year.

2023 Most Valuable Player Awards

Major League Baseball has announced its 2023 Most Valuable Players. To nobody's surprise, Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels was the unanimous MVP in the Americal League. Also to nobody's surprise, Ronald Acuña, Jr. of the Atlanta Braves won the MVP award handily in the National League. Acuña, Jr. also won the MVP unanimously (which I hadn't expected), and this marks the first time that both MVPs were unanimous. Ohtani is the first baseball player ever to twice be name a unanimous MVP.

The National League MVP voting was interesting. Mookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers got all 30 second-place votes, and Freddie Freeman (Dodgers) and Matt Olson (Braves) split all of the third-place and fourth-place voters (with Freeman getting 17 of the former and 13 of the latter to obtain 4 more points than Olson). Rookie of the Year Corbin Carroll of the Arizona Diamondbacks finished fifth in the voting and garnered 20 of the 30 fifth-place votes.
