Five starting pitchers were selected for this honor, and were chosen by a 50/50 split panel of baseball experts and fans. Voters were told to only consider performance in the regular season when casting their ballots.

Gallen is joined on the All-MLB First Team by Gerrit Cole (Yankees), Blake Snell (Padres), Shohei Ohtani (Angels, for now), and Spencer Strider (Braves).
