"The vagaries of timing and injuries mean some of the true hitting stars of the era like Trout, Bryce, Freeman and Machado are between milestones, while the slightly older players either couldn't stay stars or petered out entirely. Meanwhile on the pitching side it's becoming harder and harder for guys to get wins or honestly to get to the majors at an age early enough to challenge things."
"Judge should go over 400 this year and if you like guys going over 300 homers - this is your year. Along with Ohtani we should see Marcell Ozuna, George Springer, Mookie Betts, Matt Olsen and the forgotten star Jose Ramirez all cross that mark. As well as very likely Lindor and quite possibly Alonso."
"Max won't get close to 300 wins but he'll get his 3500th K this year and will also pass into the Top 10 all time likely ending the season 7th. Max should get to 3000 IP this year. Kenley Jansen should get into 3rd place all time in saves showing you want the gap between Rivera/Hoffman and next really means."
The baseball landscape shows fewer active players nearing legendary career milestones compared to previous eras, with timing and injuries affecting stars like Trout, Harper, Freeman, and Machado. Offensively, Freeman leads the race toward 3,000 hits while multiple players will cross 300 home runs this year including Judge, Ohtani, Betts, Springer, and Ramirez. Several players will reach 1,000 RBIs. On the pitching side, Verlander remains two years from 300 wins, while Jansen approaches third all-time in saves and Chapman reaches 400 saves. Scherzer will achieve 3,500 strikeouts and 3,000 innings pitched, likely ranking seventh all-time in wins.
