Something about the year 2025 looks exciting from a baseball perspective.

The AL Central was the division often cast aside ahead of the 2024 season, with three teams thought to be in the midst of rebuilds and two teams who were projected to be high 80-win teams at best.

It was around this time last year that I dropped the 2024 version of this article, which highlighted players like NL Rookie of the Year runner-up Jackson Merrill, Wyatt Langford, and Jared Jones.

The American League is absolutely jam-packed with pitching talent right now, and so much of that is coming from the AL West, where many of the game’s best arms are being stockpiled.

The NL Central is wide-open heading into 2025.

Two games into the regular season, the Chicago Cubs have already given fans some reasons to be frustrated.

In 2025, the National League Central is poised to become one of the best divisions in baseball for starting pitching talent.

Going into 2025, the NL West is a division to watch.
