"The marathon that is MLB's regular season is nearing its conclusion, with three weeks remaining before the real fun begins in October. For a dozen lucky teams, this month is merely an appetizer of what's to come in the postseason, but for the majority of squads, now's a reasonable time to take stock of the year that was. Our latest power rankings take a look at each team's most valuable player over the duration of the regular season."
"30. Colorado Rockies (40-104) Only Cal Raleigh has hit more home runs among catchers this season than Hunter Goodman, and before you yell "COORS!", you should know that 16 of Goodman's 29 long balls have come on the road. While his glovework behind the dish leaves a lot to be desired, catchers with this kind of power are rare, so credit to Colorado for identifying and developing a potential star at such a valuable position."
MLB's regular season is wrapping up with three weeks remaining before postseason play in October. Twelve teams will compete in the postseason while most franchises take stock of their seasons. The rankings identify each team's most valuable regular-season player. On contending teams, those players are established stars who can further elevate their reputations in October. On non-playoff squads, the most valuable players are young talents who serve as reliable building blocks for future contention. Examples include Hunter Goodman's uncommon catcher power, Colson Montgomery's recent power surge and defense, and James Wood's promising sophomore season despite high strikeout totals.
