The 2025 All-MLB teams were revealed Thursday, honoring the best and second-best players at their positions regardless of league.
Introduced in 2019, the All-MLB teams are intended to recognize the best players at each position. Unlike All-Star Game recognitions, which only apply to the first half of a season, these recognize accomplishments from the entire regular season.

There were some highlights, though. Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge, named MVPs of their respective leagues for the second-straight year, unsurprisingly made the first team. So did Cal Raleigh, MVP runner-up in the AL, as well as stars like Bobby Witt Jr., Juan Soto and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The first-team rotation was headlined by Cy Young Award winners Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes, as well as World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
Kyle Schwarber, runner-up for NL MVP, had to settle for second team by virtue of playing the same position as Ohtani. He was joined by other major pending free agents in Cody Bellinger, Bo Bichette and Edwin Díaz, plus AL Rookie of the Year winner Nick Kurtz.
Here’s the full list of winners.
