The American League’s roster features players who’ve been delivering all season long. These guys have won over fans not just with skill, but with heart and hustle.
Infielders
Front and center among infielders is Vladimir Guerrero Jr. from the Toronto Blue Jays. Guerrero Jr. keeps smashing home runs and driving in runs, making him a force at the plate.
His stats are eye-popping, and honestly, he deserves the spotlight. Right there with him is José RamÃrez of the Cleveland Guardians.
RamÃrez brings versatility and always seems to step up when the pressure’s on. His glove and bat have both been big stories for the Guardians this year.

The outfield finalists are just as loaded, starting with Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees. Judge hits towering home runs and pulls off some jaw-dropping plays in the field.
He’s become a fan favorite, and his presence has been huge for the Yankees. Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels is another standout.
Trout, who’s basically an annual All-Star at this point, keeps showing why he’s one of the game’s best. His steady play and commitment are tough to match.
National League Finalists
The National League lineup doesn’t disappoint either. It’s a mix of heavy hitters and up-and-comers who keep raising the bar.
Infielders
Leading the charge is Fernando Tatis Jr. from the San Diego Padres. Tatis Jr. brings a spark—dynamic plays, big swings, and a ton of energy every game.
He’s tough to take your eyes off. Nolan Arenado of the St. Louis Cardinals is another key infield finalist.
Arenado’s defense is top-tier, and he always seems to come through when it matters. His steady bat has anchored the Cardinals’ lineup.
Outfielders
For the outfield, Ronald Acuña Jr. of the Atlanta Braves stands out. Acuña Jr. has speed, power, and a knack for making highlight-reel plays.
He’s been a huge part of the Braves’ run this year. Mookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers rounds out the group.
Betts does it all—hits, fields, leads by example. The Dodgers lean on him in the big moments, and he rarely disappoints.

He’s also chipped in with the bat, making himself a core piece for the Orioles. Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals is another name to watch.
Witt Jr. brings speed and agility, turning heads with plays on both sides of the ball. Fans and analysts are definitely taking notice.
National League
On the National League side, Jazz Chisholm Jr. of the Miami Marlins has become a must-watch player. Chisholm Jr.’s energy is contagious, and he’s delivered some electric performances.
He keeps finding ways to change the game, which fans love. Ke’Bryan Hayes of the Pittsburgh Pirates is another rising star.
Hayes shows off elite defense and has a knack for clutch hits. The Pirates are counting on him, and his room for growth is huge.
