The success just keeps coming for the Nationals.
On Tuesday, Major League Baseball announced the rosters for the first-ever All-MLB teams. Similar to the NBA and NFL's end of the season teams that feature the best at each position, baseball finally joined the party following the culmination of the 2019 campaign. A mixture of a fan vote and a panel of judges, plenty of D.C.'s finest players were featured.
Apparently, our World Series championship team had some pretty good players on it.

Looking at the first team, Anthony Rendon took home the honors for third base. A .319 batting average, a league-leading 126 RBI and a spot among the finalists for the NL MVP support that decision.
Both Max Scherzer and newly re-signed Stephen Strasburg join Rendon on the All-MLB first team, representing two-fifths of the team's starting rotation that also features Gerrit Cole, Justin Verlander and Jacob deGrom.
However, the list doesn't stop there for the Nationals. Young phenom Juan Soto earned All-MLB second team outfield honors. With 34 home runs, 110 RBI and a .282 average, Soto emerged as one of the best young stars of the game in 2019, which included a masterful postseason showing.
Out of the five nominees from the Nationals that were considered for placement on teams, only Patrick Corbin did not make it. Washington also trails only the Houston Astros in terms of teams with the most representatives as the team they would defeat in the World Series featured six players on the All-MLB teams. However, it's safe to say the Nationals are okay with finishing in second there while they admire the new shiny object in their trophy case.
A phenomenal season for the Nationals filled with incredible individual performances, it's no surprise there's plenty of Curly W's on the first-ever All-MLB teams.
