Having already claimed a number of awards that included his first National League MVP award, Paul Goldschmidt on Monday earned another accolade following his strong 2022 season.
Goldschmidt was named as the first baseman to the All-MLB first team. The honor is the first of the 35-year-old’s career after he hit .317 with 35 homers and an NL-leading .981 OPS. Goldschmidt was the only Cardinal to be named to the fist-team.
Houston second baseman Jose Altuve, Philadelphia catcher J.T. Realmuto, shortstop Trea Turner, who signed an 11-year deal with the Phillies on Monday, and San Diego’s Manny Machado filled out the rest of the infield spots on the first team.
