The 2021 All-MLB team was announced on Tuesday, with many of the game’s biggest names being recognized for their outstanding production during the 2021 season. Similar to how many Braves were included among the Gold Glove and Silver Slugger award winners, four Atlanta ballplayers were also announced among the MLB’s best performers from last season.
Freddie Freeman, Ozzie Albies, and Max Fried all earned second-team honors at their respective positions. Freeman, Albies, and Fried were clearly among the best at their positions all year long, and were rightfully deserving of the honor. However, the big news of the night was Austin Riley being named First-Team ALL-MLB Third Baseman, being voted ahead of Rafael Devers of the Boston Red Sox.
