In a fairly new tradition — just the third year — Major League Baseball has revealed the nominees that will be voted on to make a first and second All-MLB team. The Los Angeles Angels have two nominees in this year’s voting pool, Shohei Ohtani and Raisel Iglesias.
The All-MLB teams work a little differently than every other major award, as this one has a fan voting component. Fan voting accounts for 50% of the final tally, with the other 50% coming from an expert panel of voters.
Ohtani is once again making history by being the first player to be a finalist at multiple positions. He is listed in both the designated hitter category and the starting pitcher category. Iglesias is among 16 finalists for relief pitchers.
The L.A. Dodgers have the most nominees, securing 10 spots in the voting pool. They have at least one player at every single position with the exception of second base, as second baseman Trea Turner is listed as a shortstop. The Chicago White Sox lead the American League with nine nominees, including five pitchers.
Ballots for the All-MLB First and Second team can be created here, with fans being allowed to vote for one player at each position, three outfielders, five starting pitchers, and two relievers. Fans are asked to vote solely based on the regular season, not the playoffs.
Voting is open now and continues through Nov. 19 at 2:00 p.m. PT. Winners will be announced on MLB Network on Nov. 23.
