"The 2025 MLB season has been packed with must-see moments from the sport's biggest stars. Whether you prefer historic home run achievements at the plate, strikeout mastery on the mound or players who can do a little bit of everything, baseball's most talented players have delivered in a big way. But who is the most exciting player in baseball this year? To find out, we put together our second annual 32-player bracket and asked our MLB experts to vote for a champion."
"The process was simple: We chose the most exciting player from each of the 30 teams (with one wild-card addition for each league), seeded them by the standings (after giving Bobby Witt Jr. and Elly De La Cruz No. 1 seeds for making the finals of this bracket a year ago) and let our voters decide each matchup. The final result? One superstar who can proudly wear the crown as MLB's Mr. Excitement for 2025."
The 2025 MLB season produced numerous highlight moments across offense, pitching and two-way play. A 32-player bracket selected the most exciting player from each team plus two wild-card entrants, seeded by standings with Bobby Witt Jr. and Elly De La Cruz receiving No. 1 seeds. MLB experts voted head-to-head matchups to determine a champion. Bobby Witt Jr. retained prominence for 2025 thanks to his combination of hitting, defense and elite baserunning. Other standouts included Garrett Crochet, who led the majors in strikeouts and innings while elevating his Cy Young profile, and Tarik Skubal for dominant pitching.
