mlb award finalists ohtani judge raleigh more up for mvp cy young

Major League Baseball, in conjunction with the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA), has announced the finalists for the 2025 major awards: Most Valuable Player, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year and Manager of... As a reminder, the voting was completed before the playoffs even started. In fact, ballots were due before the first pitch of the playoffs. That means these are regular-season awards. Further, there's no voting after finalists are announced or anything like that. The word, "finalists," is kind of misleading actually.

The ballots have already been tabulated and the league office is simply revealing the top three vote-getters for each award to create a buzz before the winners are announced. The announcement schedule is as follows. Monday, Nov. 10: Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year Awards Tuesday, Nov. 11: Manager of the Year Awards

Are Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge set to repeat as MLB MVPs? Who between Paul Skenes, Cristopher Sánchez, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto will win the NL Cy Young? The league announced the finalists for its major end-of-season awards from the Baseball Writers' Association of America on Monday. The full list: Ohtani has won three MVPs already and two straight. He hit .282 with 55 home runs and 102 RBIs.

He also stole 20 bases and boasts a National League-best 146 runs scored, posting a 1.014 OPS. Schwarber slugged a career-high 56 homers, led the majors with 132 RBIs and had a .240/.365/.563 slash line. Soto batted .263 with 43 home runs, 38 steals, a .921 OPS and 6.2 WAR in his first season with the Mets. Judge, who has won twice before, led MLB with a .331 average, 53 home runs, 114 RBIs, 137 runs scored and a 9.7 WAR, all while posting a .457 OBP and .688 slugging. Despite the Toronto Blue Jays' best efforts, the Los Angeles Dodgers are champions of baseball again. Could they add another major award before the offseason gets in full swing?

Shohei Ohtani is aiming for his fourth MVP award, which would make him only the second player to reach the mark and the first to win multiple MVPs in both leagues. On the AL side, the MVP race between Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh came down to the bitter end. Was Raleigh’s 60-home-run campaign enough to push him ahead, or will the New York Yankees’ two-time MVP become a three-time MVP? Whether or not Judge goes back-to-back, this award season is likely to have plenty of similarities to 2024. Many of the awards have been announced, with the AL and NL MVPs to be named Thursday night at 7 p.m., on MLB Network. That's officially a wrap on the 2025 MLB season.

The hot stove season is already burning, but even amid the roster shuffling for the 2026 season, we had one last bit of 2025 business: handing out the major awards. The most prestigious are the four major honors determined by BBWAA voting. These awards will have a lasting impact on baseball history books and Hall of Fame résumés. On Monday, Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz was unanimously selected as the American League Rookie of the Year, and Atlanta Braves rookie catcher Drake Baldwin earned the National League honor. Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy and Cleveland Guardians manager Stephen Vogt each won their second consecutive Manager of the Year Award on Tuesday. MLB announced the finalists for its major individual awards Monday, and as expected, Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh and Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge headline the lists as finalists for AL MVP.

Raleigh and Judge are joined by Guardians third baseman José Ramírez as finalists for the award, but the hotly contested race is expected to come down to the New York and Seattle sluggers. Raleigh broke out in 2025 with a season for the ages. He led MLB with 60 home runs, the ninth-most by a player in a single season in MLB history. Raleigh led the AL with 125 RBI while slashing a career-best .247/.359/.589 with 14 stolen bases. His performance paced Seattle to an AL West title and a trip to the ALCS. Judge, meanwhile, continued his tear as one of the best hitters in baseball history in a bid for his third MVP and second straight.

Judge finished third in baseball and second in the AL to Raleigh with 53 home runs. He led the AL with a .331/.457/.688 slash line, 137 runs scored and 124 walks in addition to tallying 114 RBI and 12 stolen bases. The Yankees made the playoffs as a wild card after losing a tiebreaker with the Blue Jays atop the AL East. The Blue Jays then eliminated the Yankees in the divisional round. Shohei Ohtani doesn't have anyone but Barry Bonds to chase. Ohtani won his fourth Most Valuable Player award Nov.

13 when balloting from the Baseball Writers’ Assn. was announced. It is his second National League honor with the Los Angeles Dodgers after winning a pair of American League MVPs down the freeway with the Angels – the first player to win multiple MVPs... Ohtani’s fourth MVP broke a tie with 10 players who were three-time MVPs, and moved him behind only Bonds, whose seven NL MVPs are most in Major League Baseball history. Meanwhile, Aaron Judge powered his way into the Gang of Three. Judge won his third American League MVP, prevailing in a tight battle over record-setting Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh..

Judge hit 53 home runs and won his first career batting title, leading the majors with a .331 mark. Raleigh hit 60 home runs, a record for both a catcher and switch-hitter, and drove in 125. MLB announced the finalists for its notable individual awards, spotlighting key players like Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh and Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge for the AL MVP. Raleigh's standout season included 60 home runs, 125 RBI, and pivotal contributions that helped the Mariners clinch the AL West title. Judge, aiming for his third MVP award, recorded 53 home runs and impressive offensive stats. In the NL, Shohei Ohtani leads the MVP finalists, showcasing his dual threat as a hitter and pitcher.

Other awards highlight emerging talents and managerial accolades across the league. Though Raleigh and Judge dominate the AL MVP conversation, José Ramírez's consistent performances keep him a strong contender, potentially complicating the final outcome. Similarly, Shohei Ohtani's unique contributions as a two-way player introduce an intriguing dynamic in the NL MVP race. Anticipation builds for the final results of these awards, with potential implications for player contracts and team strategies moving forward. Fans and analysts alike will closely watch the voting outcomes as they could shape the narrative for next season. The 2025 MLB awards finalists reflect a season of remarkable performances, while the ultimate victors will set the stage for an exciting offseason filled with player movements and team re-evaluations.
