Entering the eighth year of the All-MLB team, the Brewers have had five players earn the best-at-their-position honors, and another five earn All-MLB 2nd team honors. Tonight, two more were added to the first team: Brice Turang and Jackson Chourio. The lone second team winner was William Contreras in the catcher position.
This award season, the Brewers had seven players nominated for the All-MLB team award: Jake Bauers, Brice Turang, Contreras, Jackson Chourio, Jacob Misiorowski, Trevor Megill, and Abner Uribe. Only the Dodgers, Red Sox, Yankees, Rays, and Braves had more players nominated this season.

As we’ve already seen from the defensive awards, Turang was, without a doubt, the best second baseman in baseball. In just his fourth season in the big leagues, Turang continued to prove to be the everyday starting second baseman. Despite watching his batting average drop 20 points and racking up 21 more strikeouts than a year ago, Turang saw a big increase in RBIs, doubles, and a few more home runs. The First Team All-MLB team is the first time he’s been awarded the honors, after winning the Second Team All-MLB team a year ago.
For Chourio, it’s his first honors of his career. Chourio did this while playing in his least amount of games throughout his three-year career at 127. Chourio became the youngest player in MLB history to hit 20 home runs and steal 20 bases in each of his first three seasons. This season, not only was he clutch, but he hit well, batting .291, a career best, while walking 47 times.
As for Misiorowski, he caps off what is officially the most First Team All-MLB winners in Brewers franchise history. On the same night that he won his first Cy Young award, Miz earns his first career All-MLB award. Miz had an out-of-this-world season, leading all of MLB in ERA with a 1.80 and strikeouts with 252; he also was the only pitcher in baseball with a complete-game shutout.
