Three Rays earn spots on MLB’s All-MLB Teams, headlined by Caminero

MLB revealed the 2026 All-MLB Teams on Wednesday night at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, airing on MLB Network, with Tampa Bay earning three selections. Junior Caminero was named to the All-MLB First Team at third base, while Jacob Misiorowski earned a spot on the First Team pitching staff and Bryan Baker made the Second Team bullpen.

Caminero’s first-base-to-shortlist case was built on a power breakout from the Rays’ middle infield-to-bat profile. MLB credited him with 42 home runs in 2026, including an AL-best 87 homers since 2025, and pointed to improved plate discipline, raising his walk rate from 6.3 percent in 2025 to 11.3 percent in 2026 while trimming his strikeout rate from 19.1 percent to 18.4 percent.

Misiorowski’s selection came from a dominant run as a rotation piece for Tampa Bay. MLB’s release listed an MLB-best 1.80 ERA, 252 strikeouts, and a.157 average against, and it noted that he was the winning pitcher for the title-clinching moment in the World Series.

In the late innings, Baker represented the Rays as a relief choice on the Second Team. MLB credited him with a 1.44 ERA and tying for the MLB lead with 41 saves among pitchers with at least 50 innings, along with a swing-and-miss profile supported by a release that placed his second-lowest mark among that group.

The All-MLB voting process split fan and expert input evenly, with performance limited to the regular season. MLB also outlined the team construction: each squad includes one catcher, first base, second base, shortstop, third base and DH, three outfielders, five starting pitchers, and two relievers, across 32 total selections in 2026.
