Dodgers nominated for 2024 All-MLB Team
Shohei Ohtani
Ohtani finished the season batting .310 with a 1.040 on-base plus slugging while becoming the first player in MLB history to join the 50-50 club as he finished with 54 home runs and 58 stolen bases.
He also tallied 38 doubles, drove in 130 runs and scored 134.
Ohtani is bidding for a fourth consecutive All-MLB selection.
The two-way star has been selected to either team as both a designated hitter and a starting pitcher in each of the last three seasons after earning first-team honors as a designated hitter and second-team honors as a starting pitcher in 2021; first-team honors as a starting pitcher and second-team honors as a designated hitter in 2022; and first-team honors in both categories in 2023.
Freddie Freeman
Freeman is the lone player to be honored as a first-team or second-team selection in each of the previous five seasons.
He finished the year hitting .282 with an .854 OPS while hitting 35 doubles, 22 home runs, driving in 89 runs and scoring 81 runs, also adding nine stolen bases.
Mookie Betts
Betts is a four-time All-MLB Team selection seeking a fifth designation. Although he missed a chunk of the season due to injury, the infielder/outfielder had another fantastic season.
Listed as an outfielder for voting purposes, Betts hit .290 with an .867 OPS, 24 doubles and 19 home runs while driving in 75 runners, scoring 75 runs himself and stealing 16 bags.
Teoscar Hernández
Leading all NationaL League outfielders in home runs, Hernández is a finalist after setting a new career-high with 33 long balls.
In addition, he also hit .270 with an .839 OPS while driving in an NL-best 99 runs among outfielders, scoring 84 runs, hitting 32 doubles and stealing 12 bases.
Will Smith
Smith started the year out red-hot before tailing off in the second half of the season, but it was still good enough to earn him the honor as a nominee.
The backstop hit .248 with a .760 OPS while doubling 24 times, hitting 20 home runs, posting 75 RBI and scoring 77 runs. Just for good measure, he also added one stolen base.
Jack Flaherty
Acquired at the trade deadline from the Detroit Tigers, Flaherty had a fantastic season overall, throwing 162 innings with a 3.17 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and adding 194 strikeouts.
He also finished the year going 13-7 between the two clubs.
Alex Vesia
Vesia had an incredible season as one of the more underrated Dodgers, but he earned the trust of manager Dave Roberts, becoming a top high-leverage arm for the club.
He finished the year posting a 1.79 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and struck out 12.31 hitters per nine while throwing 65.1 innings. He also recorded five saves on the season.
