In recent years, many products and services will send their users recaps of their years right around now. This trend most notably began with the “Spotify Wrapped” feature, which tells Spotify users things like who their most listened to musical artists were, and for how long, making fun little graphics they can then share with friends. In addition to telling you legitimately calculable things, like how many times and how long you listened to a particular song, Spotify have also started doing things like giving
their users a “listening age” of how old they might expect someone with a given musical taste to be.
Since then, many other companies have hopped on that trend in various ways. Hell, I even got a “year in review” email from Dunkin’ Donuts about what I ordered from there in 2025. (Uh, no comment on how many visits I made.)
With that in mind, I thought I’d look back at the Yankees’ 2025 and present some general info and fun facts about the Yankees’ season — even if the ending of it wasn’t fun.
The Basics
Between the regular season and the playoffs, the Yankees went 97-72 in 2025, with a 94-68 record in the regular season.
A total of 52 players appeared in at least one game for the team. Shortstop Anthony Volpe played in the most games with 153, while pitchers Rico Garcia and Jayvien Sandridge were the only players to appear in just one.
They scored 849 runs as a team and allowed 685.
Led by Aaron Judge’s 53, the Yankees hit 274 home runs.
The collective team ERA was 3.91, which equated to a 105 ERA+.
By any measure on wins above replacement, Aaron Judge was the team leader (10.1 fWAR and 9.7 rWAR), whereas pitching was split: Max Fried led pitching fWAR at 4.8, while Carlos Rodón led rWAR at 4.6.
Judge led the league in the following categories besides WAR: runs, walks, batting average, OBP, slugging, OPS, OPS+, total bases, and intentional walks, plus more probably. His 36 intentional walks set an American League record.
Other Yankees to lead the league in a stat were: Fried (wins and winning percentage) and Rodón (H/9).
The team’s average age for batters was 28.6 and 30.5 for pitchers.
Every pitcher who started at least one game had a record of .500 or better, with Carlos Carrasco (2-2 in six starts) and Tyler Matzek (0-0 in one opener start) the only ones at that .500 baseline.
Okay, now let’s get to the real reason I wanted to do this: to share the weird stuff my brain cooked up.
Stupid Stuff
Judge’s 53 home runs went a total of 21,622 feet, which is equivalent to 4.095 miles. That can get you almost entirely out of the Bronx in several directions, if you start at Yankee Stadium.
Meanwhile, the 19,080 feet he ran around the bases during/after those home runs would be more than enough to complete a full 5000 meter race at a track and field event.
Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s name would be worth 56 points in Scrabble, which is a team high for 2025. The two Zs and two Js would be lethal.
Rookie pitching sensation Cam Schlittler was born on February 5, 2001. That was a few days after the death of former German distance runner Helmut Gude, who we can only assume Schlittler is the reincarnation of.
The oldest Yankee to play in 2025 was Adam Ottavino, who has a birthday of November 22, 1985. His birth is closer to the Nuremberg Trials than it is to today.
Austin Wells started an Instagram account to rate burritos. The highest rated was one from Sacramento, which he rated 98/100. The lowest was 62/100 from the visiting clubhouse in Detroit. The average rating of the 15 burritos he scored this season was 82.6/100.
