Freddie Freeman will look to earn his fifth consecutive All-MLB honor in balloting that began when the nominees were announced Wednesday.

The Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman is the only player who made first-team or second-team All-MLB every year since the award began in 2019.

Five other players are seeking a fourth All-MLB designation: New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole, Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto, Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts, San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto and Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez.

Two-way star Shohei Ohtani, a free agent who played this year with the Los Angeles Angels, is again nominated at two positions. He made the first team as a starting pitcher in 2022 and as a designated hitter in 2021, and he made the second team as a DH in 2022 and a starting pitcher in 2021.

First- and second-time honorees will be chosen for catcher, first base, second base, third base, three outfielders (regardless of position), designated hitter, five starting pitchers and two relief pitchers. No league affiliations will be considered, and voting is to focus strictly on the regular season.

Fans can vote online until Nov. 19, and their results will be factored in along with votes from media members, ex-players and baseball officials. The winners will be revealed on Dec. 16.
