SAN DIEGO -- Fernando Tatis Jr. and Mason Miller were named to the All-MLB Team presented by MGM Rewards on Wednesday during the league’s annual MLB Awards in Las Vegas.
Only the Brewers had more players (three) named to the First Team -- which, regardless of league, accounts for the best player at every position, including five starting pitchers and two relievers. The Padres didn’t have any players named to the Second Team, with Ty France missing out at first base.
It’s the third time Tatis has been honored with an All-MLB selection -- all of those on the First Team. But he’s taken a bit of a hiatus. This will mark Tatis’ first All-MLB inclusion as an outfielder. His previous two appearances came in 2020 and ’21 as a shortstop. (He was one of the more notable snubs in 2025.)
This time around, Tatis left little doubt, even after his slow start to the season. He batted .289 with an .828 OPS while providing his usual outstanding defense in right field. Tatis finished the season on a tear, as well. Twenty of his 25 home runs came during the second half, and he swiped 38 bases.
Tatis moved into a tie with Manny Machado for the most All-MLB appearances among Padres (three) since the league began handing out the honor in 2019.

As for Miller, he was named All-MLB Second Team in 2024 with the Athletics, but he took his game to a new level this season. He posted a 1.67 ERA with a 1.17 FIP while tying for the NL lead with 38 saves. He struck out a whopping 129 batters -- a record for a Padres reliever -- across 70 innings.
Miller was also named alongside Toronto’s Louis Varland as the First Team relievers.
