The third edition of the All-MLB Team features six players for the 2021 World Series champion Atlanta Braves.Â
When you win the World Series you’re bound to feature several players who had outstanding seasons. That’s certainly the case for the Atlanta Braves in 2021, and that’s why they have six players on the ballot for the 2021 All-MLB Team.
The All-MLB team started in 2019 and is a much better way of distinguishing who the best players were at a given position for a particular year.
On that inaugural 2019 team, the Braves had three players make the Second Team in Freddie Freeman, Ronald Acuna Jr., and Mike Soroka.
Last year Atlanta had three make the First Team in Freeman, Marcell Ozuna (DH), and Max Fried, while Acuna made the Second Team again.
Freeman is back on the ballot for a third straight season and has a good chance of being named to the first or second team.
Since it’s not league-specific, he’s likely fighting for a spot on the Second Team after the year Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Ozzie Albies will be trying to make his first appearance on the All-MLB team after posting 30 HR, 106 RBI, 20 SB, and an OPS of .799.
He has some pretty steep competition though with Marcus Semien, Brandon Lowe, Jose Altuve, and Jorge Polanco.
Austin Riley will also be trying to make the All-MLB Team for the first time after a breakout season. He has a very good chance at being named to the First Team — Second Team at least.
It’s probably between him and Jose Ramirez.
Adam Duvall and his NL-leading 113 RBI also made the ballot, but he has little chance of being named to the All-MLB Team.
And the final two Braves to make the ballot are Max Fried and Charlie Morton.
Both are very good candidates and might be able to sneak on a second team.
Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff, Max Scherzer, Walker Buehler, Gerrit Cole, Robbie Ray, and Zack Wheeler are pretty obvious candidates.
That only leaves three spots left with some other very solid candidates.
