The Los Angeles Dodgers have secured nominations for two of their standout players, Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts, for the 2024 NL All-MLB First Team. This recognition follows their recent triumph in the World Series. Simultaneously, New York Yankees stars Juan Soto and Aaron Judge paved the way for the AL selections announced on Thursday.
The complete roster for the 2024 All-MLB First Team includes notable players such as William Contreras of the Milwaukee Brewers at catcher, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Toronto Blue Jays at first base, and José Ramírez of the Cleveland Guardians at third base. The outfield features prominent names like Juan Soto and Aaron Judge from the New York Yankees, alongside Mookie Betts from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Additionally, Shohei Ohtani earned a designated hitter spot, demonstrating his unique impact on the league despite being limited in pitching duties this season.
The All-MLB Team recognition is based on players' performances during the regular season. The nominees were unveiled during a live broadcast of the All-MLB Awards in Las Vegas, which aired on MLB Network. Juan Soto’s impressive season included a career-high 41 home runs and the distinction of leading the AL with 128 runs scored, while Aaron Judge topped the sport with 58 home runs and 144 RBIs. Meanwhile, Mookie Betts stood out again with his versatility, playing both shortstop and outfield for the Dodgers throughout the season.
