All-MLB Team candidacy is based on players’ performance during the regular season. The teams were announced live during the All-MLB Awards in Las Vegas aired on MLB Network Thursday night.
Soto earned the nomination after recording a career-high 41 home runs while leading the AL with 128 runs scored. Judge joined him in the All-MLB outfield after leading the sport with 58 home runs, 144 RBI and 133 walks.
Betts meanwhile got the nod for a third straight season after playing at both shortstop and outfield for the Dodgers during the 2024 season.
“That was easy, going back to the infield,” Betts said at the awards show on Thursday night. “The infield, man, that’s hard. But you gotta do what you gotta do.”
