Your Favorite Player of 2025

Mookie Betts

A lot of people wrote off Mookie Betts in the first half of 2025, reasoning that this was the year that he finally ceased to be one of the best baseball players in the world. And if you just looked at his offensive line — .262/.330/.411 with 20 home runs — you might think that’s the right conclusion. But here we are at the end of the season and Betts managed to put up 5.0 bWAR (more than any other position player on the Red Sox), the 25rd-best mark in all of baseball amongst position players.

How did he do it? At 32-years-old he turned himself into one of the best defensive shortstops in the world, finishing in the 89th percentile in Outs Above Average. There is nothing this man can’t do and I miss him every day
