NEW YORK, NY — As Major League Baseball enters its final regular season weekend, many of the league’s most popular players are helping their Clubs clinch Postseason spots and jockey for position in a push to the World Series presented by Capital One. More than half of the 20 most popular player jerseys are en route to October Baseball with MVP candidates Shohei Ohtani (#1) and Aaron Judge (#2) pacing the rankings once again.
Ohtani has held MLB’s most popular player jersey since 2023 and is now the fourth Major Leaguer to wear the most popular jersey in baseball for three seasons in a row after his teammate Mookie Betts (2020-22), Judge (2017-2019) and Hall of Famer Derek Jeter (2010-2012); MLB began tracking the most popular jerseys with the 2010 season.

Freddie Freeman (#3) and Betts (#4) join their Dodgers All-Star teammate in the top five while the retiring Clayton Kershaw (#12) rounds out the Dodgers contingent. Kershaw, who announced his retirement last week after a stellar 18-year career in Los Angeles, finished the season with his jersey in the top 20 for the 12th time in his career (2013-2022; 2024-25).
In addition to the familiar superstar jerseys at the top of the rankings released jointly today by MLB and MLB Players, Inc. (MLBPI), four young All-Stars finished their seasons in the top 20 for the first time in their respective careers: Jarren Duran (#13), Pete Crow-Armstrong (#16), Major League ERA leader Paul Skenes (#18) and Major League home run leader Cal Raleigh (#20).
The Postseason begins Tuesday, Sept. 30 with the four Wild Card Series on ABC and ESPN platforms.
