Award season continues during the Major League Baseball offseason, with the All-MLB team winners announced on MLB Network.
Established during the 2019 season, the All-MLB team comprises one catcher, four infielders (one for each position), three outfielders regardless of position, one designated hitter, five starting pitchers, and two relief pitchers.
There are two teams: the All-MLB First Team, which is comprised of the leading vote-getters across Major League Baseball, and the All-MLB Second Team, which is comprised of the runners-up in those positions.
Last season, the Los Angeles Dodgers had two players make the All-MLB First Team: Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, who each finished second and third in the National League Most Valuable Player Award voting.
This season, the Dodgers had seven nominees for the All-MLB team: Mookie Betts, OF; Jack Flaherty, SP; Freddie Freeman, 1B; Teoscar Hernández, OF; Shohei Ohtani, DH; Will Smith, C; Alex Vesia, RP.
The Los Angeles Dodgers came away with just one player in the All-MLB team, with Shohei Ohtani winning it yet again as the best-designated hitter in all of baseball.
With Ohtani not on the mound, he was set to wreak havoc on the base paths, setting a career-high in stolen bases with fifty-nine and also setting a career-high in home runs with fifty-four, becoming the first Major Leaguer to join the 50/50 club while hitting .310/.390/.646 this season. It is his fifth time making the All-MLB team since it’s creation in 2019, the most of any active player.
Mookie Betts, who played all over the field during the 2024 regular season, was surprisingly nominated for the outfield and came away with another All-MLB honor, winning in back-to-back seasons. On social media, it was somewhat controversial, as Betts had only played forty-three games in right field. The position where Betts had the most games played was shortstop (sixty-three).
To round out the All-MLB second team, the Los Angeles Dodgers were represented yet again by current free agent Teoscar Hernández, who had one of the best seasons of his career in 2024, setting a career-high in home runs and driving in ninety-nine runs.
