The inaugural Hitter Power Rankings of 2025, compiled by MLB.com experts, spotlight the top offensive talents

poised to define the upcoming MLB season.

Leading the list is Yankees’ outfielder Aaron Judge, whose remarkable performance over the past three seasons includes a .304 batting average, .433 on-base percentage, .674 slugging percentage, and an average of 52 home runs per season.

Following closely is Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers, who led the National League in multiple offensive categories

in 2024, including home runs, total bases, on-base percentage and slugging percentage. His historic 50-home run, 50-stolen base season underscores his unique two-way prowess.

Rounding out the top five are Juan Soto of the Mets in 3rd place, Bobby Witt Jr. of the Royals in 4th, and Yordan Alvarez of the Astros.
