On Saturday, November 1st, 2025, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre in Toronto to win the 121^st World Series four games to three. It was the ninth championship for the Dodgers franchise, and the second that was won in Ontario. These are the top five players that I felt most stood out during the series.

5. #13 Max Muncy (Dodgers)- 3B

Muncy collected player of the game honors for the Dodgers in game seven, as he added three hits with a walk and an RBI as Los Angeles scored the series-winning 5-4 victory in 11 innings.

4. #16 Will Smith (Dodgers)- C

Smith was game two’s player of the game, as he nabbed three RBIs on two hits, including a seventh-inning home run in the Dodgers’ 5-1 triumph. In game seven, he would also nab the eventual series-winning home run in the top of the 11^th inning.

3. #18 Yoshinobu Yamamoto (Dodgers)- P

Yamamoto took player of the game honors in game six, going six innings while allowing just one earned run on five hits and a walk as Los Angeles went on to win 3-1 and keep the series alive. This came on the heels of Yamamoto’s performance in game two, where he pitched a complete game while also allowing a single run.

2. #17 Shohei Ohtani (Dodgers)- DH

Ohtani, who also pitched admirably in game four, did the most damage as a designated hitter in game three. After swatting two home runs, he was walked an almost unbelievable five times as the game went deep into extra innings. The Dodgers ultimately came out on top 6-5 after 18 frantic innings, with Ohtani being credited with three RBIs and four hits to go along with the aforementioned five free passes.

1. #27 Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (Blue Jays)- 1B

Guerrero Jr. earned the player of the game nod in games four and five, with Toronto winning game four 6-2 on the strength of his two RBIs and two hits, with a walk added in for good measure. In game five, Guerrero worked a pair of walks while contributing a hit and an RBI in the Blue Jays’ crucial 6-1 victory.
