Hello everyone, and welcome to the last mailbag of 2025! I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season.
We are now officially in what my family calls the lobe of the year, the week between Christmas and New Year’s, when many of us unwind and spend time with friends and loved ones. It is a time of relaxation and reflection. You’ll notice that here at FanGraphs, other than this mailbag and a few transactional comments, we’re mostly taking it easy. Instead, we’re republishing our favorite FanGraphs pieces of the year. You can view that hereor as they fill the homepage from now until the end of next week.
In this week’s mailbag, we discuss the top players who never received a Hall of Fame vote, the NPB mailing rules, and Dillon Dingler’s breakout season. But before we do, I want to remind you that this mailbag is exclusive to FanGraphs members. If you are not yet a member and would like to read more, you can register for membership here. It’s the best way to experience the site and support our employees, and it comes with a lot of other great benefits. If you would like to ask about an upcoming mailbag, please email me at mailbag@fangraphs.com.
