This postseason illustrated baseball's competitive balance, with BLA talent making an impact throughout the bracket. From the Detroit Tigers' improbable run from a 0.2% playoff probability to the New York Mets' surge from 7.9%, and the Kansas City Royals' rise from 9.9%, our players helped drive remarkable turnarounds. Keider Montero's contributions to Detroit's historic push, Jose Butto's impact with the Mets, and the dynamic duo of Michael Massey and Maikel Garcia with the Royals exemplified the determination that defined this October's surprises.

We congratulate all our players who competed on baseball's biggest stage this October. Their performances embodied the spirit of postseason baseball, and we celebrate their accomplishments during this exciting championship run.
