There's no bigger stage in baseball than the World Series. The fall classic features the two league champions vying for the sport's biggest prize. The player (or in some years, the players) who shines brightest on the World Series stage is named World Series MVP.

The first World Series MVP was awarded in 1955. Since then, only four players - Sandy Koufax (1963 and 1965), Bob Gibson (1964 and 1967), Reggie Jackson (1973 and 1977) and Corey Seager (2020 and 2023) - have won the award multiple times. Only two World Series - 1981 and 2001 - featured multiple MVPs.

Freddie Freeman took home the World Series MVP trophy in 2024, after the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees.Freeman made MLB history during the series, becoming the first player to homer in six consecutive World Series games.
