The Hank Aaron Award, established in 1999, recognizes the top offensive performer in each league. In 2025, Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani cemented their dominance in MLB by once again claiming this prestigious honor.
**Aaron Judge (AL)** Following his historic 2024 season, Judge continued his exceptional performance, posting a .331/.457/.688 slash line with 53 home runs and 114 RBIs. He led the American League in batting average, home runs, walks (124), and several advanced metrics like bWAR (9.7) and OPS+ (215).
**Shohei Ohtani (NL)** Ohtani, in his second year with the Dodgers, continued to redefine baseball excellence. He hit a career-high 55 home runs, leading the National League. Ohtani also led the NL in runs scored (146), slugging percentage (.622), and OPS (1.014). Additionally, he maintained a 2.87 ERA with 62 strikeouts in 47 innings as a pitcher.
Winners are determined through a combination of fan votes and a panel of Hall of Famers and previous award winners.
