Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo finished fourth in the National League Most Valuable Player award race.

Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers won the award unanimously, taking home his second NL MVP in as many seasons.

Diamondbacks All-Stars Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte received down-ballot votes, finishing seventh and 22nd, respectively.

The Diamondbacks have had a top-five MVP finalist in three straight seasons, as Marte finished third in 2024 and Carroll fifth for his Rookie of the Year campaign in 2023.

Perdomo made a case to be named a finalist for the award, but he was snubbed with Juan Soto of the New York Mets and Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies joining Ohtani in the top three.

Still, the 2025 season represented an astounding rise for the 25-year-old shortstop, who put together his best campaign by far.

Perdomo racked up 7.1 wins above replacement (FanGraphs), second in the National League to Ohtani’s 7.5. His previous career high was 2.3.

The switch-hitter hit 14 home runs in his major league career entering 2025, and he blasted 20 this past season. He also finished with 100 RBIs, a benchmark never before hit by a Diamondbacks shortstop.

Perdomo paired a top-10 offensive season in the NL with solid defense, plus baserunning and durability to build an MVP case. He provided a level of stability for a Diamondbacks team that went through massive ups and downs and dealt with debilitating injuries. He played the second half of the season with a bone bruise in his left hand, but he managed to finish with 161 games played and continued to produce through the finish line.

Among the NL ranks, Perdomo finished the year third with a .389 on-base percentage, only behind Ohtani and Soto. He hit .290, which ranked fifth.

He was one of seven players in the league with triple-digit RBIs and one of three with 100 RBIs and 20-plus steals (27). Ohtani and Soto were the other two.

Perdomo finished the year ninth in the NL with an .851 OPS and 10th in doubles with 33.

He managed to do this while striking out at a career-low 11.5% clip and walking at a career-high 13.1% rate, combining his already stellar plate discipline with new-found power.

Additionally, Perdomo logged more innings at shortstop than any other player in Major League Baseball with 1,425.

And he did this after signing a four-year, $45 million extension with the Diamondbacks in spring training, a deal that includes a club option for 2030.

Corbin Carroll receives a top 10 MVP finish

Carroll had arguably an even more impressive season in Year 3 than his historic Rookie of the Year campaign, setting career highs in slugging (.541), OPS (.883), doubles (32), home runs (31) and RBIs (84). He blew away his previous career best hard hit rate of 41.1% with an elite 50.1%.

The outfielder finished top five in the National League in slugging, OPS, extra-base hits and total bases. He also received a finalist nod for the Gold Glove in right field, putting together his best defensive season.

Carroll has been one of the most impactful power hitters in baseball since he dug himself out of a four-month rut in 2024. Since Aug. 1, 2024, he ranks fifth in MLB with a slugging percentage of .547, only trailing Aaron Judge, Ohtani, Schwarber and Cal Raleigh, who were all MVP finalists this year.

It’s a testament to Carroll that he reached the highs he climbed in 2023, fell hard in 2024 and found answers to get back in the MVP conversation, which is where he should be for the foreseeable future.

Ketel Marte lands down-ballot votes

After missing most of April with a hamstring strain, Marte returned and produced one of the best offensive seasons in the league.

From May 1-on, Marte ranked fifth in the NL with an OPS of .890. He was one of seven players in the league to hit 28 home runs from that point on.

Perdomo, Carroll and Marte each won the Silver Slugger award given to the best offensive player at each position, hammering home the point that Arizona has one of the most dangerous lineup cores in the sport.
