2025 MLB Home Run Leaders
Cal Raleigh (Seattle Mariners, C)
Raleigh’s remarkable season re-wrote the history books. He set the MLB record for most home runs by a catcher and switch-hitter in a single season and was the only member of the 60-home run club this season.
Kyle Schwarber (Philadelphia Phillies, DH)
The MLB leader in runs batted in, Schwarber entered the 50-homer club for the first time in his career and was a massive reason why the Phillies are the second seed in the National League.
Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Dodgers, DH/SP)
It’s almost become old hat for Ohtani to put together an MVP season. On top of his second straight season with 50+ home runs, Ohtani led the league in total bases and finished second in OPS. Oh, and he owns 2.87 ERA and 62 strikeouts across 47 innings pitched.
Aaron Judge (New York Yankees, RF)
Judge became just the fourth player to hit 50 home runs in four straight seasons. He collected another batting title and led the league in OPS and WAR. Judge is staring down his second straight MVP and his third in four years.
Junior Caminero (Tampa Bay Rays, 3B)
In his first full season in the majors, Caminero was a revelation. In addition to the homers, Tampa Bay’s rising third baseman finished top 10 in RBIs and slugging percentage.
Pete Alonso (New York Mets, 1B)
In what may be his final season with the Mets, Alonso finished second in RBIs and set career highs in hits (170), doubles (41) and batting average (.272). And for the second straight season, he played all 162 games.
Juan Soto (New York Mets, RF)
Soto ended the year as the hottest hitter in baseball. He set a career high in home runs and after never recording more than 12 stolen bases in a season, Soto swiped a stunning 38 for his first-career 30-30 season.
Jo Adell (Los Angeles Angels, CF)
There won’t be playoff baseball in Anaheim, but Jo Adell had himself a career year. It was just his second full season, but he shattered his previous high marks in hits, home runs and RBIs.
Tyler Ward (Los Angeles Angels, LF)
Ward joined Jo Adell in a celebration of a career year in an otherwise lowly season for the Angels. In his ninth season, Ward set career highs in runs, doubles, home runs and RBIs.
Nick Kurtz (Athletics, 1B)
The presumptive Rookie of the Year, Kurtz was electrifying in his debut season. In just 117 games, he hit 36 home runs, scored 90 runs, put together a 1.002 OPS and accumulated a 5.4 WAR.
Byron Buxton (Minnesota Twins, CF)
One of the best stories in the 2025 baseball season was Byron Buxton putting together a full season after seven straight injury-plagued campaigns. That translated to him setting career highs in runs, hits, triples, home runs and RBIs.
Riley Greene (Detroit Tigers, LF)
Greene powered the Tigers for much of the season with career marks in hits, doubles, home runs and RBIs. They will need him at his best for any sort of postseason run.
Eugenio Suárez (Seattle Mariners, 3B)
Suárez set a new career high in RBIs and tied his career high in home runs between Seattle and Arizona. Though he slumped to end the year, he has a chance to start anew in the postseason.
Rafael Devers (San Francisco Giants, DH)
After an early-season trade from the Red Sox, Devers (technically) became the first Giant since Barry Bonds to hit 30 home runs in a season.
