The confirmed Hank Aaron winners
Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez and Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong won the 2026 Hank Aaron Awards, MLB announced at its November 11 awards event in Las Vegas. The awards recognise the top offensive performers in the American and National Leagues.
Alvarez finished with a .316 batting average, 42 home runs and 106 RBIs. Crow-Armstrong hit 45 home runs and stole 41 bases. Each wins this award for the first time. The Hank Aaron result is separate from the MVP awards, which MLB says are due Thursday.
How the All-MLB selections work
MLB also revealed its First and Second Teams. Each contains 16 players: nine hitting positions, five starting pitchers and two relievers. The selection process gives fans and an expert panel half the vote each, considering only regular-season performance.
The Brewers lead with four selections across the two teams, followed by the Rays with three. This is an individual season honour, not a change to club rosters or an All-Star Game lineup.
First Team names and the full roster
The First Team includes Gabriel Moreno, Pete Alonso, Brice Turang, Junior Caminero and Bobby Witt Jr. The outfield selections are Crow-Armstrong, Fernando Tatis Jr. and Jackson Chourio, with Alvarez at designated hitter.
MLB’s linked All-MLB report lists every First and Second Team pitcher and position player. Its separate Hank Aaron report explains the two winners’ offensive seasons.
