Now in its seventh season since being established in 2019, the All-MLB Team presented by MGM Rewards aims to honor the best players in the Major Leagues over the course of the regular season.
The 2025 All-MLB First and Second Teams were revealed on Thursday night as part of the festivities at the MLB Awards presented by MGM Rewards. The event was held at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas and aired on MLB Network. As was the case in each of the past six editions, the 2025 All-MLB Teams were chosen through a process in which 50% of the vote came from fans and 50% from a panel of experts.
The All-MLB Team is split into a First Team and a Second Team, with each featuring one selection at catcher, first base, second base, shortstop, third base and DH, as well as three outfielders (regardless of specific outfield position), five starting pitchers and two relievers. Voters were asked to consider only performance during the regular season when casting their ballots.
The 32 total All-MLB selections in 2025 were split between 17 teams. The Mariners and Phillies led the way with four selections apiece, while the Yankees and World Series champion Dodgers both had three. The Blue Jays, Brewers, Diamondbacks, Mets and Red Sox each had two.
C: Cal Raleigh, Mariners
Raleigh is an All-MLB pick for the first time after a season in which the slugger couldn’t be denied. Raleigh clubbed 60 home runs, setting single-season records for each of the following: catchers, switch-hitters and Mariners. The 2025 Home Run Derby champion also led Seattle to its first American League Championship Series appearance since 2001.
1B: Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Blue Jays
The 26-year-old Guerrero had a 2025 filled with accomplishments and accolades. First was the 14-year, $500 million contract he signed with the Blue Jays in April. Later came his fifth All-Star selection, the ALCS MVP Award and now with his third First-Team All-MLB selection. Guerrero slashed .292/.381/.467 this season and helped the Jays to the cusp of a World Series title.
2B: Ketel Marte, Diamondbacks
Marte keeps churning out fantastic seasons, and 2025 was no different. The 31-year-old dealt with multiple injuries but smashed 28 home runs to lead National League second basemen, reaching 25 for the third straight season and fourth overall to earn his second straight First-Team selection.
3B: José Ramírez, Guardians
Ramírez had his second straight season with at least 30 home runs, 30 stolen bases and 30 doubles, swiping a career-best 44 bags as the Guardians won their second straight AL Central title. The 33-year-old switch-hitter, a two-time First-Team selection, also finished in the top three of AL MVP voting for the fourth time.
SS: Bobby Witt Jr., Royals
Witt defended his unofficial title of best shortstop in baseball with his second straight First-Team selection. His 184 hits and 47 doubles both led the Majors, and he stole 38 bases, reaching 30 for the fourth time in the 25-year-old’s four-year career.
OF: Aaron Judge, Yankees; Julio Rodríguez, Mariners; Juan Soto, Mets
Judge won his third AL MVP Award on Thursday, after finishing second in the AL with 53 home runs and leading the league in several other offensive categories, including batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, walks and runs. Soto made the most of his first year in Queens, overcoming a modestly slow start to belt a career-best 43 homers while leading the NL with 38 stolen bases (tied) and a .396 on-base percentage, and drawing an MLB-best 127 walks. Rodríguez put up a career-best 6.8 bWAR thanks to 32 homers, 30 steals and stellar work in center field.
DH: Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers
Ohtani has been a First- or Second-Team All-MLB selection eight times in the past five years, and if that seems impossible, welcome to Shohei Ohtani, master of the impossible. He’s made it as a pitcher three times and now as a DH for the fifth time. Ohtani hit a career-high 55 home runs while leading the NL in slugging percentage and OPS, and leading MLB in runs. Also on Thursday, he became just the second player, after Barry Bonds, to win his fourth career MVP Award.
SP: Garrett Crochet, Red Sox; Max Fried, Yankees; Paul Skenes, Pirates; Tarik Skubal, Tigers; Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Dodgers
These five pitchers embodied both excellence and consistency in 2025, all finishing with an ERA comfortably below 3.00 and Skenes checking in at an MLB-best 1.97. Crochet led the AL with 205 ⅓ innings and led baseball with 255 strikeouts. Fried’s 19 wins were the best in baseball, Yamamoto gave up the fewest hits per nine innings in MLB at 5.9 and Skubal topped the AL with a 2.21 ERA. The Detroit lefty also won his second straight AL Cy Young Award on Wednesday, while Skenes took NL honors.
RP: Aroldis Chapman, Red Sox; Jhoan Duran, Phillies
The 37-year-old Chapman turned back the clock and then some in 2025, posting a 1.17 ERA that was the best of his decorated 16-year career. Chapman has never struck out fewer than 10.7 batters per nine innings in a season, and he reached 12.5 this past season while his 32 saves put him at 367 in his career, tied for 12th all time. Duran cemented himself as one of the top relievers in baseball, becoming a valuable Trade Deadline acquisition for the Phillies and notching a career-best 32 saves.
C: Will Smith, Dodgers
Despite logging just 110 games, Smith was steady at a position that requires players to be cool, calm and collected. He missed qualifying for the batting title but nonetheless put up a .404 on-base percentage and a .497 slugging percentage while being named an NL All-Star for the third straight season.
1B: Nick Kurtz, Athletics
Kurtz is the only rookie on either team, and the AL Rookie of the Year Award winner overcame a slow start to become a cornerstone for a group of young and rising A’s position players. Kurtz didn’t homer until his 17th game, on May 13, but seemingly didn’t stop homering after that, finishing with 36 dingers and carrying a .660 slugging percentage and 1.052 OPS over his final 101 games.
2B: Brice Turang, Brewers
Turang turned a good season into something more over the final two months. Carrying a .703 OPS into August, Turang slashed .343/.398/.694 during the month, hitting 10 of his 18 total homers. He finished off the campaign with an .835 OPS in September, bringing his season OPS to .794 as the Brewers won the NL Central.
3B: Junior Caminero, Rays
In his first full season, Caminero, who turned 22 in July, established himself as an elite power threat, smashing 45 home runs, one away from Carlos Peña’s Rays record. Caminero becomes the second Rays position player to earn an All-MLB selection, following second baseman Brandon Lowe’s Second Team selection in 2020.
SS: Bo Bichette, Blue Jays
Bichette rebounded in a big way from a difficult 2024 hampered by injuries. His .840 OPS was his full-season best since he put up a .930 in 46 games as a rookie in 2019. Bichette’s season was cut short by a knee injury that also limited his availability in the playoffs, but he still delivered 181 hits, 44 doubles, 94 RBIs and a .311 batting average.
OF: Cody Bellinger, Yankees; Corbin Carroll, Diamondbacks; Pete Crow-Armstrong, Cubs
Crow-Armstrong was a leading NL MVP candidate for much of the season, displaying elite defense in center field to go along with 31 home runs in a breakout performance at the plate. Carroll led the NL in triples for the third straight season with a career-high 17, and he posted 31 home runs, 32 steals and 32 doubles, matching Ramírez’s 30-30-30 campaign. Bellinger was a model of consistency with solid numbers across the board, including 29 homers, 98 RBIs and 160 hits in 152 games during his first season in the Bronx.
DH: Kyle Schwarber, Phillies
Schwarber took his prodigious power to a new level in 2025, blasting an NL-leading and career-high 56 home runs, including 16 that traveled at least 430 feet and five of at least 450 feet. The 32-year-old also established career marks with an MLB-best 132 RBIs, 111 runs and 145 hits while drawing at least 100 walks for the third year in a row.
SP: Hunter Brown, Astros; Freddy Peralta, Brewers; Cristopher Sánchez, Phillies; Zack Wheeler, Phillies; Bryan Woo, Mariners
Sanchez and Wheeler were stalwarts at the top of the Phillies’ rotation before Wheeler was sidelined by thoracic outlet syndrome in August, forcing him to miss the rest of 2025. The two Philadelphia starters combined for 351 2/3 innings and a 2.58 ERA. Brown posted a 2.43 ERA over 31 starts for the Astros and struck out 206. Woo emerged as the ace of a talented Mariners staff, pacing M’s starters with 15 wins, 186 2/3 innings and 198 strikeouts. Peralta led the NL with 17 wins while reaching at least 30 starts, 165 innings and 200 strikeouts for the third straight year, with a career-best 2.70 ERA.
RP: Edwin Díaz, Mets; Andres Muñoz, Mariners
Díaz rediscovered the form he showed before missing the 2023 season due to injury and struggling at times during his 2024 return. The 31-year-old right-hander allowed just 37 hits in 66 1/3 innings, with 98 strikeouts and a 1.63 ERA. Muñoz was almost exactly as dominant, surrendering 36 hits in 62 1/3 innings, with 83 strikeouts and a 1.73 ERA to help Seattle to the AL West crown.
