The 2025 MLB season features standout performances from Bryce Harper and emerging talents like James Wood and Jackson Jobe.

The 2025 MLB season is off to an exciting start, with teams like the Hawai`i Rainbow Warriors leading the Big West Conference at 7-1, tied with UC Santa Barbara. In the NL East, the Philadelphia Phillies are looking to defend their 2024 division title, buoyed by the stellar performance of Bryce Harper at first base and Zach Wheeler, who is coming off a Cy Young runner-up season.

The New York Mets have made headlines by signing Juan Soto to a record contract, pairing him with Francisco Lindor as they aim for a World Series appearance. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Braves are grappling with injuries, including Ronald Acuña Jr.`s second ACL tear, but still boast a powerful lineup featuring Matt Olson and Marcell Ozuna.

In the MIAA conference, Missouri Southern is leading with a perfect 3-0 conference record and an impressive 10-2 overall mark. Young talents are emerging, such as Nationals outfielder James Wood, who had a promising 2024 debut, and Tigers pitcher Jackson Jobe, who is vying for a rotation spot with a fastball exceeding 99 mph. The Guardians are placing their trust in Kyle Manzardo at first base/DH after trading Josh Naylor, projecting him for a 121 wRC+ and 18 home runs.

In fantasy baseball, SportsLine`s projection model is identifying potential busts for 2025, including Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff and Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday.
