Starting in 2019, MLB began awarding two “All-MLB” teams, similar to the long-standing All-Pro teams that the NFL awards at the end of its season. These teams, a first team and second team (regardless of league), are designed to reward the best players at each position. Each All-MLB teams consist of a catcher, one of each infield position, three non-specific outfielders, a designated hitter, five starting pitchers, and two relievers.
Two Brewers made their way onto the Second Team, as Brice Turang and Freddy Peralta were named as the second baseman and as one of the five second-team starting pitchers. They are the eighth and ninth Brewers to make an All-MLB team in the award’s seven-year history (first-teamers Christian Yelich in 2019, Corbin Burnes and Josh Hader in 2021, and William Contreras in 2024, and second-teamers Yasmani Grandal in 2019 and Devin Williams in 2020 and 2023).
Turang was rewarded as what many believe was the best position player on the team with the best record in the league. In addition to solid defense and baserunning, Turang unlocked previously untapped power and improved drastically at the plate. Peralta was the steadiest presence on the team all season, and yesterday placed fifth in the National League’s Cy Young voting.
The Brewers had several nominees in addition to Turang and Peralta who were not selected (the nominee list at each position is long, at least nine players even for the single positions): William Contreras at catcher, Christian Yelich at designated hitter, Sal Frelick and Jackson Chourio in the outfield, Quinn Priester at starting pitcher, and Trevor Megill and Abner Uribe at relief pitcher.
