LOS ANGELES -- As Major League Baseball enters its final regular season weekend, many of the league’s most popular players are helping their clubs clinch Postseason spots and jockey for position in a push to the World Series presented by Capital One. More than half of the 20 most popular player jerseys are en route to October Baseball with MVP candidates Shohei Ohtani (#1) and Aaron Judge (#2) pacing the rankings once again.
Ohtani has held MLB’s most popular player jersey since 2023 and is now the fourth Major Leaguer to wear the most popular jersey in baseball for three seasons in a row after his teammate Mookie Betts (2020-22), Judge (2017-2019) and Hall of Famer Derek Jeter (2010-2012); MLB began tracking the most popular jerseys with the 2010 season.
