Box-Toppers almanac
Pitchers won Player of the Game honors in 66 of the 94 games played this week (70.2 percent) with batters winning in 28 (29.8 percent). That increased pitchers’ share of Player of the Game honors for the season from 60 percent last week to 63.4 percent this week (180 wins in 284 total games), with batters slipping to 36.6 percent (104 wins).
Pitchers have won 63.1 percent of all Box-Toppers points awarded in 2025 with batters earning 36.9 percent. Though it’s early in the season, that’s already behind the record-low share of points earned by batters in a single season—37.2 percent in 2024.
While batters have struggled to reach parity with pitchers in recent seasons, it wasn’t always this way: From 1995 to 2009, batters generally won half or more of all Box-Toppers points each season. But their share of points dropped precipitously after 2009.
