The Pioneer Baseball League (PBL), a Major League Baseball Partner League, today announced its 2025 award winners and Postseason All-Star team, recognizing the top performers from across the league. These awards celebrate the players who defined the year and underscore the PBL’s role as one of professional baseball’s premier development leagues.

The 2025 campaign was marked by historic individual performances, breakout stars, and a record-setting championship run by the Oakland Ballers. From Ogden’s Christopher Sargent, who powered his way to Most Valuable Player honors, to Missoula’s Roberto Pena, who set a new league home run record, this year’s honorees reflect the depth of talent and competitive excellence across all 12 PBL clubs.

“This season showcased the very best of Pioneer League baseball – incredible talent, thrilling performances, and historic achievements,” said PBL President Mike Shapiro. “The award winners and All-Star selections embody the league’s growth, the passion of our fans, and our continued commitment to player development.”

The award winners and Postseason All-Star Team were determined by votes from the 12 PBL clubs and the League Office.
