This year’s All-MLB outfield is full of elite talent.

Outfielder: Mookie Betts, Los Angeles Dodgers- Playoff performance isn’t supposed to be a factor when considering All-MLB honors, but Mookie Betts has won America free tacos twice in his career and we can’t just overlook that. Betts led all outfielders with a 3.0 fWAR, hitting 16 home runs with a .927 OPS.

Outfielder: Mike Trout, Los Angeles Angels- Can it be an All-MLB team without Mike Trout on the roster? Once again, Trout’s production wasn’t enough to get the Angels into the playoffs, but that’s not his fault. Trout slashed .281/.390/.603 with 17 home runs and a 164 wRC+ in 53 games. Will LA finally give him help to make a run in 2021? We can only hope.

Outfielder: Juan Soto, Washington Nationals- The 2020 MLB season seemed to end as soon as it started, but it also feels like last year with the season started with Soto’s positive COVID-19 case on Opening Night. Soto proceeded to light the league on fire, slashing .351/.490/.695 with 13 home runs, 14 doubles, a 200 wRC+, and more walks (41) than strikeouts (28). Soto is a budding MLB mega-star and should soon get paid as such.

DH: Marcell Ozuna, Atlanta Braves- In the first year in which the National League allowed the DH, it’s only fitting that an NL DH get this honor. Ozuna appeared in the DH role in 39 of his 60 games this season and earned himself a big payday after hitting 18 home runs with a .338 average and .431 OBP. He was a crucial spark to Atlanta’s lineup this season, but will he return if there is no DH in the NL in 2021?
