2025 MLB Review Quizzes

The 2025 season stacked sequels on sequels. Aaron Judge edged Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh for a third American League MVP, pairing a .331 batting title with 53 home runs while Raleigh led the majors with 60. Shohei Ohtani made it three straight MVP awards — and four in five years — with another unanimous National League win for the Dodgers. On the mound, Tarik Skubal repeated as AL Cy Young with a 2.21 ERA and 241 strikeouts, and Paul Skenes followed his Rookie of the Year campaign with a unanimous NL Cy Young built on a 1.97 ERA that recalled Justin Verlander’s sub-2.00 standard from 2022.

Leaderboards and debuts filled out the yearbook. Max Fried led the American League with 19 wins in his first Yankees season, Garrett Crochet struck out 255, Trea Turner took the NL batting crown at .304, and Kyle Schwarber paced the National League with 56 home runs. Unanimous AL Rookie of the Year Nick Kurtz mashed 36 homers for the Athletics, while Atlanta catcher Drake Baldwin claimed NL Rookie of the Year — a new wave ready for the next decade of quizzes.

Atlanta’s Truist Park hosted the All-Star Game, and for the first time the Midsummer Classic was decided by a swing-off after a 6–6 tie through nine. Kyle Schwarber mashed three homers in the tiebreaker to earn MVP as the National League prevailed, with Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes starting for their leagues under managers Aaron Boone and Dave Roberts. October then stretched the drama: Toronto won its first pennant since 1993, with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. taking ALCS MVP against Seattle, while Ohtani’s NLCS masterpiece — three homers and six shutout innings with 10 strikeouts in a clincher — sent Los Angeles back to the World Series.

The Dodgers and Blue Jays needed all seven games. Yoshinobu Yamamoto earned World Series MVP with a 3–0 record and 1.02 ERA, including a complete game and a Game 7 relief win in an 11-inning, 5–4 clincher at Rogers Centre. Los Angeles repeated as champions, and the 2025 MLB Review collection captures the full lap — from Kurtz and Baldwin to Judge and Ohtani, Skubal and Skenes, Schwarber’s swing-off, and Yamamoto’s Fall Classic masterclass.
