SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Padres star Manny Machado was named the All-MLB First Team third baseman for the second time in his career.
The 30-year-old Machado beat out Nolan Arenado of the Cardinals for the First Team honors. Arenado was picked for the Second Team.
Machado made the First Team after the 2020 season.
The First Team selection capped a tremendous 2022 season for Machado. The third baseman made his sixth All-Star Game and was voted in as a starter. Machado also finished second in the NL MVP voting after a season in which he hit 32 home runs, drove in 102 runs, and hit .298 — leading the Padres in those respective categories.
Most importantly, Machado was instrumental in helping San Diego reach the National League Championship Series for the first time since 1998.
