The Final Stage of the Climax Series in each league wrapped up in the past few days. On Friday, the Hawks completed their three game sweep of the Fighters (they only needed three games since, because they finished in first place in the regular season, they started the Series with a one game advantage). On Saturday, the Baystars, the third place finisher in the regular season, completed their four game sweep of the Tigers, upsetting the regular season first place team.
The Nippon Series will start next Saturday with the Baystars, the 2024 Champions, hosting the Hawks, the 2025 Champions. It's a bit of a difference from MLB where the Brewers, who have never won a World Series, will be playing either the Rays, who have also never won a Series, or Cleveland, who last won in 1948. If the Rays end up playing the Brewers, I think it'll be the first time that two teams that have never won the Series will meet in it since 1980 when the Phillies played the Royals.
Here are the MVPs of each league's Final Stage:
