MILWAUKEE, Wis. — The World Series champion Brewers collected more All-MLB honors than any other club Wednesday night, as Brice Turang at second base, Jackson Chourio in the outfield and Jacob Misiorowski on the mound were named to the First Team and catcher William Contreras made the Second Team.
Major League Baseball unveiled the teams during its awards show. Milwaukee’s four selections topped the field, with Tampa Bay, the club the Brewers beat in the World Series, next at three. The All-MLB format dates to 2019 and judges players at each position on regular-season work only, so October results played no part. Fan voting helped shape the picks.
The pitching nod came the same evening Misiorowski was voted the top pitcher in the National League. The 24-year-old led the majors with a 1.80 ERA, 252 strikeouts, a 0.80 WHIP and a .157 opponents’ batting average, which set a full-season low. He joined Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler, Atlanta’s Chris Sale, Toronto’s Dylan Cease and Philadelphia’s Cristopher Sanchez in the First Team rotation.
Chourio, who missed the first month with an injury and played 127 games, hit 25 home runs and stole 23 bases. He became the first player with three seasons of at least 20 homers and 20 steals before turning 23. He shares the First Team outfield with Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Cubs and Fernando Tatis Jr. of the Padres.
Turang, a Gold Glove winner at second base, hit 20-plus homers for the first time and drove in a team-high 100 runs. He moved up after a Second Team nod a year ago.
Contreras batted .270 with 18 home runs and 94 RBIs. Arizona’s Gabriel Moreno was the First Team catcher. It is the first year Milwaukee has placed more than two players on the All-MLB squads.
