It isn't the easiest time to talk about Christian Yelich, as the longtime Milwaukee Brewers star struggled badly in October. He hit .182/.289/.212 combined against the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers, with just one extra-base hit (a double) and nine strikeouts to show for his efforts.

However, it shouldn't be forgotten that he was a driving force of their regular season success. After undergoing major back surgery that ended his 2024 campaign prematurely, Yelich returned near the peak of his powers this season.

In total, the 33-year-old designated hitter hit .264/.343/.452 with 29 home runs, 103 RBIs, and 16 stolen bases, good for a 121 wRC+ that ranked second on the team.
