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. 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 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. 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. The Baseball Writers’ Association of America has unveiled its finalists for the 2025 major awards, setting up what promises to be one of the most compelling awards weeks in recent memory. Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge headline their respective MVP races, while rookie sensation Paul Skenes leads a loaded National League Cy Young field. The announcements, revealed Monday night on MLB Network, showcase the top three vote-getters in each category.

Winners will be announced throughout the week of November 10, starting with the Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year Awards. In the National League, Ohtani appears poised to capture his fourth MVP award, which would tie him with Barry Bonds as the only four-time winners in baseball history. The Dodgers superstar returned to two-way excellence this season, hitting .282 with 55 home runs and 102 RBIs while posting a 2.87 ERA across 14 pitching starts. Joining Ohtani as finalists are Philadelphia’s Kyle Schwarber, who led the majors with 132 RBIs and 56 home runs, and the Mets’ Juan Soto, who surprisingly led the NL with 38 stolen bases while... The American League race promises more drama, with Judge seeking his third MVP award after another monster season. The Yankees captain hit .331 with 53 home runs and led MLB in multiple offensive categories.

His main challenger is Seattle’s Cal Raleigh, who made history by becoming the first catcher to reach 60 home runs in a season. 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. Keep an eye on how these outcomes influence league dynamics.
