THE APEX TIMES
The Braves left-hander was named to the 2026 All-MLB Team First Team during MLB Awards presented by MGM Rewards.
Chris Sale’s season was officially recognized Wednesday night, when the Braves left-hander was named to the 2026 All-MLB Team First Team for the second time.
The All-MLB First and Second Team selections were announced during the MLB Awards show presented by MGM Rewards, staged at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
Sale was the only Atlanta player to receive an All-MLB Team honor in 2026. The release also listed the other First Team starting-pitcher selections: the Brewers’ Jacob Misiorowski, the Yankees’ Cam Schlittler, the Blue Jays’ Dylan Cease, and the Phillies’ Cristopher Sánchez.
It marks Sale’s second All-MLB Team First Team selection overall, after he was named to the First Team in 2024. The awards recognize the best players at each position, with voting that included both fan ballots and a panel of experts.
Among qualified MLB pitchers, Sale ranked third in ERA (2.16), fifth in WHIP (0.98), 11th in strikeouts (200), and 12th in batting average against (.215). He also reached 200 strikeouts on Sept. 23 against the Reds, according to MLB’s release.
