Jordan Castaldo is the 2025 Toronto Maple Leafs team MVP, having received the most votes in a players-only poll.
This season, the Leafs' first baseman led the IBL with 12 home runs. He also led the Leafs with 38 RBIs and an OPS of 1.148.
Castaldo's numbers put him in the conversation for overall league MVP, considering the fact that he racked them up in fewer games than any other league star.
Castaldo proved he continues to be a force to be reckoned with in the IBL, and remains a quiet leader in the clubhouse.
"It’s never been my style to go around and tell people what to do or how to do it," he said in a recent interview. "I just try to be a good teammate and listen and provide what knowledge I can. It’s a tough game. I try to take care of myself and my performance first, and then help out the other guys the rest of the way."
Castaldo received twice as many votes as the number two man, Jhon Javier. The revelation of 2025, Javier was a super-utility guy who did practically everything except put on the mascot suit. He led the team with 56 hits.
Third place finisher was Marcus Knecht, who led the team with a .358 batting average.
Also receiving votes were newcomer Dennis Dei Baning and club legends Justin Marra and Adam Marra.
