All-MLB Team 2026 by NUT: Alvarez and Misiorowski Lead the Nominees
Yordan Alvarez of the Astros (+6.4 SEASON NUT) and Jacob Misiorowski of the Brewers (+4.0 SEASON NUT) lead the 136 nominees for the 2026 All-MLB Team by NUT, and Tarik Skubal (+3.0) ranks 6th of 29 starting pitchers, one spot off NUT's First Team, as of November 9, 2026. The teams are announced on November 11 at the MLB Awards in Las Vegas.
Below are the First and Second Teams NUT picks from the nominee list, slot for slot, then every nominee ranked at their position. NUT leaves defense out, so glove-first nominees rank lower here than on a ballot that counts defense. Read these as where each player finished by NUT, not as a vote prediction. All values are final 2026 regular-season SEASON NUT.
All-MLB First Team 2026 by NUT
Yordan Alvarez and Pete Crow-Armstrong are the only hitters on the ballot with an S. Alvarez's 1.033 OPS is the only one above 1.000 among the nominees, and Crow-Armstrong is the only one with 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases.
All five First Team starters grade S, and four of them finished with an ERA under 2.50. Misiorowski's 252 strikeouts lead the group, and Cristopher Sánchez made the rotation with the highest ERA of the five (2.91) on 207 innings, the most of the five.
All-MLB Second Team 2026 by NUT
Tarik Skubal, the 2024 and 2025 AL Cy Young winner, still grades S at +3.0 and misses NUT's First Team by 0.1, behind Dylan Cease (+3.1). Skubal threw 158.2 innings, the fewest of the top 7 starters.
Riley Greene and Fernando Tatis Jr. tie at +2.4 for the last outfield spot. Ben Rice (+3.7) is the third-best hitter on the ballot by NUT and lands on the Second Team because Alvarez holds DH. Bryce Harper (+3.4) trails Alonso by 0.2 at first base.
Big Names Who Miss Both Teams by NUT
Paul Skenes (PIT, +1.7, B) ranks 15th of 29 starters with a 3.82 ERA. Yoshinobu Yamamoto (LAD, +1.8) is 13th despite a 2.53 ERA and 0.87 WHIP, with 182 strikeouts in 185 innings, and Zack Wheeler (PHI, +1.5) is 17th.
Bobby Witt Jr. (KC, +1.5) ties for 4th of 11 shortstops: 45 stolen bases and an .800 OPS. Manny Machado (SD, -0.4) hit 30 home runs with 91 RBI but ranks last of 11 third basemen on a .217 average and .303 on-base percentage.
Second base is the thinnest slot: the leader, Turang, is at +2.2, and 3 of the 11 nominees are below 0, including Nico Hoerner (CHC, -1.1) and Ozzie Albies (ATL, -1.0). Eight hitters on the ballot finished below 0; no pitcher did.

How NUT Picks an All-MLB Team
NUT is one number for production against league average, built on the advanced hitting and pitching stats analysts trust, not batting average or ERA. Defense is left out. Every value here is SEASON NUT with a letter grade on the scale the app uses for every season, S through F; hitters and pitchers grade on separate scales, so an A means the same thing on both.
