2025 Brewers midseason awards

MVP: Christian Yelich

I actually think the team MVP is Freddy Peralta but given that there’s a separate spot for me to recognize a pitcher, I’ll go with a hitter here. A quick glance at Yelich’s overall numbers don’t exactly show a superstar; going into play on Saturday, his batting line was .261/.337/.463, which is solid (it translates to a 124 OPS+) but significantly below the .315/.406/.504 line he posted in 73 games in 2024.

But anyone who has watched this team this year knows that the Brewers got hot when Yelich got hot, and he’s been a completely different player in the last two-ish months than the first two-ish months.
