MLB’s Wildest 2025 Games: Top Regular Season and Postseason Classics

The 2025 Major League Baseball season? Honestly, it’ll go down as one of the weirdest in memory. From box scores that made no sense to results that even the most seasoned statisticians had to read twice, baseball kept everyone guessing.

It’s just one of those years where you couldn’t look away. Here’s a look back at the most jaw-dropping, bizarre MLB games of 2025—moments that felt impossible until they actually happened.

Baseball’s Timeless Talent for the Absurd

Every season gives us walk-offs and milestones. But 2025? It just felt off the charts, night after night.

Games kept pushing the boundaries of probability, making even the old-timers reach for the record books. Nobody really expected it, but that’s baseball for you.

A Baltimore Ending No One Could Script

September 6 at Camden Yards: Yoshinobu Yamamoto stood two outs from history. Then, Jackson Holliday smashed a ninth-inning homer to break up the no-no, and chaos followed.

The Orioles walked off 4–3, stringing together three straight ninth-inning hits off three different pitchers. MLB records going back to 1911? Nothing like it.

An All-Star Game Decided by Chaos

Even the All-Star Game got swept up in the season’s weirdness. The midsummer classic ended in a way that felt more like backyard wiffle ball than anything on TV.

Kyle Schwarber’s Hitless MVP Night

July 15, Atlanta. The All-Star Game finished with the first-ever home-run swing-off. Kyle Schwarber didn’t log a single hit in the box score, but he crushed three homers in the swing-off to win it for the National League—and took home MVP.

It’s wild: nothing on paper, but everything that mattered in the moment.

Weather, Time and Baseball Collide

Some of the weirdest moments had nothing to do with runs or homers. Sometimes it was just the calendar and the clock refusing to play along.

Bristol Motor Speedway’s Split-Day Statistics

The Braves and Reds played at Bristol Motor Speedway on August 2–3. Players made “August 2” debuts even though they took the field after midnight, and pitchers got wins and losses on dates that didn’t match when most of the game actually happened.

Explosive Innings and Offensive Anarchy

Pitching’s supposed to be about control, right? Well, 2025 had games where everything just fell apart.

Wrigley Field’s Wild April Night

April 18 at Wrigley: The Cubs gave up a 10-run inning but somehow came back to win 13–11. Over just an inning and a half, 21 runs scored, with a rare home-run cycle and a bunch of firsts that stretched Wrigley’s already wild history.

Minor League Mayhem in Jupiter

Down in the Low-A Florida State League, the Jupiter Hammerheads set a new mark with 22 walks. That led to 22 runs on just nine hits, with help from:

Records Falling from Coast to Coast

Honestly, no corner of the baseball world escaped 2025’s statistical madness.

Sacramento, Solo Homers, and Scoreless Outs

Opening Day in Sacramento saw the A’s get routed for 18 runs. Cubs catcher Carson Kelly hit for the cycle—the first visiting player to do it in that franchise’s Oakland-era history.

Home Run Barrages and Scoreless Beginnings

May 4 in Baltimore: The Royals and Orioles combined for 10 solo home runs, tying the all-time MLB record. A few days later, Washington piled up nine first-inning runs against Arizona without recording an out. That one? Never seen it before, at least not in the modern era.

A 24–2 Blowout for the Ages

Cincinnati’s 24–2 demolition of the Orioles on April 20 included 25 hits. They also drew 11 walks and plunked two batters—a statistical cocktail nobody had ever seen before.

It was the exclamation point on a season that just kept defying logic.

For longtime fans, 2025 felt like a powerful reminder of why baseball sticks around. Every pitch could spark history, and the game kept showing off its wild, unpredictable drama.
