AL: Yordan Alvarez, Astros

Alvarez was the cornerstone of the Astros' offense while appearing in 158 games, mostly as a DH but occasionally as an outfielder. The 29-year-old only played in 48 games in 2025 due to a fractured hand and sprained ankle.

Baker tied for the major-league lead with 41 saves during an All-Star campaign in which he posted a 1.44 ERA and 9.1 K/9.

NL: Mason Miller, Padres

Miller was the nastiest reliever in the game, striking out 47.4% of the hitters he faced while tying for the NL lead in saves with 38.

Edgar Martinez Outstanding Designated Hitter

Alvarez also captured the award for best DH after leading the majors in OPS, slugging, on-base percentage, and batting average. The Astros slugger is the first player not named Shohei Ohtani to win since 2020.

Executive of the Year

Tampa Bay Rays president of baseball operations Erik Neander was named Executive of the Year. The Rays won 98 games and captured the AL pennant in their first season back at Tropicana Field following the destruction of the stadium's roof by Hurricane Milton in October 2024.

Play of the Year

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser stole a home run with an incredible game-ending catch against the Colorado Rockies on Aug. 31 to earn MLB's Play of the Year.
