With the 2025 Major League Baseball season starting in less than a month, there are some milestones that fans must keep an eye on. Kyle Schwarber is 23 home runs away from 300, while Manny Machado is only 100 hits away from reaching 2,000.
Bryce Harper will need only 24 RBIs from 1,000, while Trea Turner is only 21 away from having 300 stolen bases. In terms of strikeouts, Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer are approaching 3,500 strikeouts. Meanwhile, Clayton Kershaw could reach 3,000 strikeouts.
Chris Sale and Charlie Morton could earn their 150th win. Finally, Terry Francona could register his 2,000th victory as manager. Keeping track of these milestones makes the upcoming season more exciting.
Beyond individual milestones, the Los Angeles Dodgers could achieve a feat last witnessed in 2000: repeat as World Series Champions. Ironically, the team they defeated for the title, the New York Yankees, was the last team to win consecutive World Series championships. Barring any injury, the Dodgers have a formidable roster that can compete for another Commissioner’s Trophy.
