# BBMI MLB awards - final 2026 regular season

Final totals through September 27.

The regular season is complete, so these are final values and ranks, not probabilities. Statistical titles follow the official leaders. Rookie, relief and All-MLB boards rank BBMI's model value: it is measured above replacement level and includes park, position and baserunning adjustments, but omits catcher blocking/throwing, and it is not WAR or a prediction of any vote.

## Batting title

Final league batting-title standings: 502 plate appearances, with the hitless-at-bat exception applied.
