Major League Baseball tonight announced the selections for the eighth annual All-MLB Team presented by MGM Rewards, which were unveiled this evening at the 2026 MLB Awards presented by MGM Rewards from The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The first and second team selections were determined by a combination of voting among fans and a decorated panel of media members, broadcasters, former players and other officials throughout the game. Each player named to the All-MLB First or Second Team will receive a trophy to commemorate his selection.
The 2026 All-MLB First Team winners include catcher Gabriel Moreno of the Arizona Diamondbacks; first baseman Pete Alonso of the Baltimore Orioles; second baseman Brice Turang of the World Champion Milwaukee Brewers; shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals; third baseman Junior Caminero of the AL Champion Tampa Bay Rays; outfielders Jackson Chourio of the Brewers, Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Chicago Cubs and Fernando Tatis Jr. of the San Diego Padres; designated hitter Yordan Alvarez of the Houston Astros; starting pitchers Dylan Cease of the Toronto Blue Jays, Jacob Misiorowski of the Brewers, Chris Sale of the Atlanta Braves, Cristopher Sánchez of the Philadelphia Phillies, and Cam Schlittler of the New York Yankees; and relief pitchers Mason Miller of the Padres and Louis Varland of the Blue Jays.
Second Team All-MLB selections include catcher William Contreras of the Brewers and his brother, first baseman Willson Contreras of the Boston Red Sox; second baseman Brandon Lowe of the Pittsburgh Pirates; shortstop Elly De La Cruz of the Cincinnati Reds; third baseman Alex Bregman of the Cubs; outfielders Randy Arozarena of the Seattle Mariners, Jordan Walker of the St. Louis Cardinals and James Wood of the Washington Nationals; designated hitter Ben Rice of the Yankees; starting pitchers Sonny Gray of the Red Sox, Jesús Luzardo of the Phillies, Drew Rasmussen of the Rays, Tarik Skubal of the Dodgers/Detroit Tigers, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Dodgers; and relief pitchers Bryan Baker of the Rays and Cade Smith of the Guardians.
Alvarez received five awards on the night, also claiming the American League Hank Aaron Award, the Rod Carew AL Batting Title, the AL Comeback Player of the Year Award and the Edgar Martinez Outstanding Designated Hitter Award. The four-time All-Star became the first player ever to earn an All-MLB selection in six seasons, following first team honors in 2022 and second team designations in 2019, 2021, 2023 and 2024. The 29-year-old native of Cuba now ranks ahead of Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani and Juan Soto, all of whom have garnered All-MLB selections in five different seasons, and trails only Ohtani (eight awards across five different seasons) in total All-MLB Awards.
Witt and Skubal each picked up All-MLB honors for a third straight season, with Witt claiming first team honors in all three seasons while Skubal earned first team honors in each of the previous two seasons before his second team election in 2026. In addition, Witt and Skubal are joined by Cease and Tatis among 2026 winners to claim a third career All-MLB selection.
Five players overall were selected to either of the teams for a second consecutive season, including Caminero, Crow-Armstrong, Sánchez, Turang and Yamamoto. Those five are joined by fellow two-time career winners Alonso, Bregman, William Contreras, Gray, Lowe, Miller and Sale.
Fifteen of the 32 award winners, including five first-team selections and 10 second-team selections, received their first career All-MLB nod. Among the first-time winners were first-teamers Chourio, Misiorowski, Moreno, Schlittler and Varland, and second-teamers Arozarena, Baker, Willson Contreras, De La Cruz, Luzardo, Rasmussen, Rice, Smith, Walker and Wood.
The Brewers have a Major League-leading three first-team selections and an MLB-high four selections across both teams. The Rays had three players chosen across both teams, while the Blue Jays, Cubs, Dodgers, Padres, Phillies, Red Sox and Yankees each had two selections across the two teams.
