The All-MLB First Team for 2020 was announced on Wednesday, and it was the Atlanta Braves who had most honorees among all clubs in the league.

The Braves have three players on the first team, with slugger Freddie Freeman, reigning NL MVP, joined by teammates Marcell Ozuna and Max Fried.

The San Diego Padres follow with two players selected in the first team, with third baseman Manny Machado receiving his first career All-MLB nod, as well as rookie shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr.

NL Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer (Cincinnati Reds) headlines the pitching part of All-MLB First Team, while the starting rotation is rounded by Fried, AL Cy Young winner Shane Bieber (Cleveland Indians), Yu Darvish (Chicago Cubs), and Jacob deGrom (NY Mets).

World Series champions LA Dodgers have Mookie Betts as a lone selected player, who is joined by Mike Trout (LA Angels) and Juan Soto (Washington Nationals) in the outfield.

The remainder of 2020 All-MLB First Team features relievers Nick Anderson (Tampa Bay Rays) and Liam Hendriks (Oakland A’s), second baseman DJ LeMahieu (NY Yankees), and catcher Salvador Perez (Kansas City Royals). 

The All-MLB First Team was selected by votes of fans, media, former players, and MLB officials.
