Why It Matters

Ohtani has never won TIME Athlete of the Year, despite a string of unprecedented performances. With his return to pitching and continued cultural impact, 2025 may finally be his year. Other contenders like Allen, Verstappen, and Clark each have strong narratives, but recent winners and playoff setbacks may affect their chances.

BetOnline will offer odds through August 31, 2025. The official TIME Magazine announcement is expected in early December.
