Who are the early favorites for all the 2025 MLB awards?

Judge has won two AL MVPs over the last three seasons, and he's well on his way to another. He's having a historic season, leading the league in batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage.

It's likely Raleigh picked the wrong year to put up his massive numbers with Aaron Judge in front of him, but he's still be spectacular. The catcher was the first player in the league to reach 30 home runs in 2025 and continues to play Gold Glove defense.

Pena is off to a terrific start for the Astros, on a 20/20 pace while hitting above .300. He's helped the Astros remain in the playoff race despite the loss of Kyle Tucker and Alex Bregman in the offseason, as well as injuries to Yordan Alvarez this year.

Ohtani has won the MVP in three of the last four seasons, and is the favorite as of late June. He leads the NL in home runs and has strengthened his case by getting back on the mound, as well.

PCA's great start has surprised even the biggest optimists, reaching 20/20 status before July while playing Gold Glove defense. His breakout campaign has spurred the Cubs into first place.

Soto got off to a slow start by his standards after signing his historic contract with the Mets, but he's started to come around recently. His OPS is back above .900 with 20 home runs before July.

The defending AL Cy Young winner is at it again, beginning the season 9-2 with a 2.29 ERA and amazing 9.62 K/BB over 16 starts. He continues to ascend as he gets closer to age 30.

Crochet has managed to exceed the lofty expectations set for him after getting traded from the White Sox. Through June 27, he leads the AL in innings and strikeouts while carrying a 2.06 ERA.

Brown has been nearly untouchable since getting out from under early-season struggles in 2024. Through June 27, he has a 1.74 ERA in 16 starts.

Skenes won NL Rookie of the Year last season, and he's the favorite to add an NL Cy Young to his mantle in 2025. Despite a 4-7 record, has has a 2.12 ERA in 17 starts.

Wheeler has yet to win a Cy Young, but has finished second in the voting twice. He has a good shot this year, beginning the season 7-3 with a 2.45 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 16 starts.

Webb has improved his game this season, missing more bats (10.1 K/9) and leading the NL in innings through 17 starts. His current 2.52 ERA would be the best of his career.

Wilson has carried his brief minor league success to the majors, in the running for the Batting Title as a rookie. He's also shown pop with nine home runs in 78 games played.

Kurtz has found his stroke after a slow start to his MLB career, hitting 11 homers in his first 44 games. He still has some ground to cover to catch up with teammate Jacob Wilson.

Smith's bat has come around for the Astros after a slow start. The rookie's OPS is inching toward .800 while playing strong outfield defense.

Misiorowski has taken the baseball world by storm in only three starts, overpowering MLB hitters. He's the NL Rookie of the Year favorite despite only 16 innings pitched.

Baldwin has overtaken veteran Sean Murphy as the lead Braves catcher, hitting .281-9-26 into late June. He appears to be the team's catcher of the future.

Burns showed why he was so hyped in his MLB debut, striking out eight Yankees in five innings. The No. 2 overall draft choice in 2024 has time to create momentum for his NL Rookie of the Year candidacy.

The Tigers were one of the surprise teams of 2024, and have only gotten better this season. Hinch is the overwhelming favorite to win AL Manager of the Year with the Tigers looking likely to cruise in the AL Central.

Cash has won Manager of the Year twice and is a strong candidate again as the Rays have gotten hot despite difficult circumstances. He could see his odds improve if the Rays continue to play well in the tough AL East.

The losses of Kyle Tucker and Alex Bregman, along with injuries to Yordan Alvarez and several pitchers, haven't stopped Houston. Espada won 88 games in his first season as manager, and is on pace to top that number.

Counsell's first year in Chicago was a bit of a disappointment, but the Cubs are off to a hot start this season. The team leads the NL Central despite several notable injuries with Counsell leading the way.

Murphy guided the Brewers through a slow start to the season, and the young team has seemingly emerged from the other side. They remain in contention to win the NL Central as Murphy tries to win the award for the second straight season.

San Francisco's surprising start has been further fueled by the addition of Rafael Devers. Melvin has won Manager of the Year three times over his 22-year managerial career, and could be in the hunt this year if the Giants win the NL West.
