2025 Korea Baseball Organization

The 2025 Korea Baseball Organization season was the 44th for the KBO. The leaderboards were occupied by foreign players again, and two stars from the Americas set league records. Cody Ponce not only broke Ariel Miranda's KBO single-season strikeout record, but also won the pitching triple crown. Lewin Diaz became the first player to reach 150 RBI in KBO history, and he was also the first foreign player to crush 50 dingers in KBO history. The Hanwha Eagles were one out away from winning the pennant the first time since 1992, but Seo-hyeon Kim gave up a walk-off 2-run home run, so the LG Twins won their second pennant in past three years.
