Yoshinobu Yamamoto rose to fourth in ace rankings after a dominant 2025 season featuring a 2.49 ERA, 200 strikeouts, and World Series MVP honors.
At the top of the list, you don't find too many surprises, with Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, Bobby Witt Jr., Tarik Skubal, Juan Soto, and Paul Skenes rounding out the first six spots. I think you are just objectively wrong if those aren't your top six in some order.
It almost seems unfair to include Ohtani on this list. At times, it feels as if he belongs in a category all his own. He has claimed four MVPs in the past five seasons, all of them unanimously. And now, somehow, the thought is that Ohtani can elevate to an even higher level.
