Tatis and Miller earn Padres spots on the 2026 All-MLB First Team

Fernando Tatis Jr. and Mason Miller were the two Padres representatives on the 2026 All-MLB Team presented by MGM Rewards, an honor unveiled during the league’s annual MLB Awards in Las Vegas.

Tatis, now an outfielder on the First Team, earned his third All-MLB selection and his first on the First Team since the 2020 and 2021 editions when he was recognized at shortstop. The league noted he missed a prior All-MLB spot in 2025 but rebounded to make the top team in 2026.

The Padres star’s season was split by a slow start followed by a strong run. For 2026, MLB credited him with a.289 batting average and.828 OPS, and reported that he hit 20 of his 25 home runs in the second half while stealing 38 bases.

On the pitching side, Miller moved from an All-MLB Second Team nod in 2024 to First Team recognition in 2026. MLB reported a 1.67 ERA and a 1.17 FIP, with 38 saves that tied for the NL lead, along with 129 strikeouts across 70 innings.

MLB also placed Miller among the First Team relievers and noted that the Padres did not receive any players on the Second Team this year, including an omission at first base for Ty France.

The release highlighted that only the Brewers had more players than the Padres on the First Team, underscoring how selective the positional top-team selections are across MLB.
