George Springer is in the midst of having one of the greatest Major League seasons for a player over the age of 35 as he has helped carry the Blue Jays to the best record in the American League. For the second week in a row he earns himself the top spot on our #HighFive list.
1. George Springer Is On A Rampage
Springer takes the top spot on our Week 23 #HighFive list in back-to-back weeks for the first time in the veteran outfielder’s career this time thanks to a .400/.545/.800 slashline over his last seven games.

He hit three homers in the final two games of Toronto’s series victory against Cincinnati, racking up four RBI, two stolen bases and scoring six runs.
Springer is on pace to post career-highs in batting average, OBS, OPS, Slugging Percentage and is only four off of his highest stolen base total at 16.
His Blue Jays begin a crucial stretch of games Friday as they first travel to Yankees Stadium to take on their divisional foes before welcoming his former team, the Astros to Toronto.
2. Jo Adell Is “The Show” In LA
Jo Adell is having a season worthy of winning our 2025 MLBbro.com Player of The Year award, which is almost shocking after the struggles he faced offensively through his first five Major League seasons.

His 33 home runs rank fourth amongst all American League hitters and third overall for outfielders in the Majors only trailing Aaron Judge and Juan Soto.
This week Adell homered in three consecutive games and is batting .583 with a 1.417 OPS in September.
He ranks 8th in the American League with 90 RBI while his .502 Slugging Percentage also falls in the American League’s top 10.
3. Hunter Greene “Machine”
Hunter Greene started September strong with a solid outing against the Pirates as his Reds began the final push for their playoff lives.
He went six and a third innings allowing only one run, five hits, one walk and striking out seven.

In his outing one of his fastball appeared to register at 105 MPH, however it was called for a ball.
Greene’s next start will come this Sunday against the New York Mets who will enter the weekend five games ahead of the Reds in the National League wildcard race.
4. Byron ‘Big Bux’ Buxton
Even though the Twins have reached the stage of the season where they are only playing for pride, Byron Buxton is finding a reason to shine in what will go down as his best season since his 2017 campaign.

He has hits in eight of his last nine games and has tripled in consecutive games for the first time in his career.
Over the last seven games Buxton is hitting .345 with a 1.000 Slugging Percentage, four home runs, 10 RBI and two steals.
This weekend his Twins will look to spoil their divisional rival Kansas City Royals playoffs hopes during their three-game set.
5. Aaron Judge
After a few rough weeks (for his standards) Aaron Judge, the front runner for the American League MVP finds himself back on our #HighFive list, this time in the five spot.
He is on pace to become the first MLBbro since Tim Anderson in 2019 to win a batting title and is also on track to lead the Majors in On Base Percentage, Slugging and OPS.
Judge, who on Sunday had his first three-hit game since July 12th is slashing .357/.486/.714 with three home runs, four RBI and a stolen base.
