History
First award2019

The All-MLB Team is an annual Major League Baseball (MLB) honor given to the best players across both leagues at each position during the season. Selections to the first and second teams are determined by a fan vote and a panel consisting of media members, former players, and baseball officials.[1] The honor was established in 2019.

The career leaders in selections are Freddie Freeman, who have been named to a team in each of the first four seasons of the honor's existence, and Shohei Ohtani, who is the only player to be named to both teams in the same season (as a designated hitter and starting pitcher respectively), accomplished in both 2021 and 2022.

Description

The roster of each team consists of one catcher, four infielders (one for each position), three outfielders regardless of position, one designated hitter, five starting pitchers, and two relief pitchers. Before the 2022 season, the designated hitter had been used only in the American League (as well as interleague games hosted by American League teams), except during the COVID-19-affected 2020 season.
