The All-MLB Team was established in 2019. It honors the top player at each position in a season and considers regular-season performance only. A panel of experts and online fan balloting each account for 50 percent of the vote.
Cleveland fans have long had a front-row seat to Ramírez’s greatness, and he was again one of the best all-around players in MLB in his 13th big league season.
Over 158 games in 2025, Ramírez slashed .283/.360/.503 with 34 doubles, 30 homers, 85 RBIs and a career-high 44 stolen bases. His .863 OPS ranked first among qualified third basemen, and he recorded 6.3 wins above replacement (per FanGraphs) -- tied with Francisco Lindor for eighth among all MLB position players.
Ramírez also recorded a career-high 39-game on-base streak (April 30-June 14), a stretch that included a career-high 21-game hitting streak (May 6-28).
Among other personal achievements, Ramírez earned his seventh All-Star nod (one shy of tying Bob Feller’s franchise record) and his sixth Silver Slugger Award (extending his Cleveland franchise record). He was also a finalist for the AL MVP Award and the AL’s Gold Glove Award at third base.
“He’s the best all-around third baseman in baseball,” manager Stephen Vogt said this past season, following Ramírez’s latest All-Star nod. “He's one of the top five players, in my opinion.
“Hosey exemplifies what it means to be a professional baseball player on the field, and he plays the game the right way. I'm just thankful I get to watch him do it every day.”
