Big names have continued to make strong cases for MVP hardware at the end of the season while others have surged in the polling to become strong contenders. While neither the AL nor NL race seems close at the moment, there’s plenty of time for things to change (but don’t necessarily count on it).

More than a third of the way into the season, it’s not just a slow start. So, consider this your regularly scheduled “what’s going on here” update. What is wrong – and are we yet seeing any signs of breaking out?

Almost every relief pitcher has a signature pitch. A few even become known for it: Think Mariano Rivera’s cutter or Trevor Hoffman’s changeup. We identified a few under-the-radar relievers who have all found success by featuring an ELITE pitch in 2025.

The Brewers’ Christian Yelich (1.545 OPS) was named NL Player of the Week for the sixth time in his career, and the Mariners’ Cal Raleigh (6 HRs) and Rays’ Junior Caminero (13 RBIs in 7 games) shared AL honors.

Kenneth Anthony Moore Sr. got much more than a night out at the ballpark, when he was surprised with a custom Permobil wheelchair 30 minutes prior to first pitch.

The 2025 season is a third of the way through, and the best is yet to come. An MLB.TV Yearly subscription has a new low price for the season bringing you every out-of-market regular-season game, live or on demand.
