In ’24, these ten guys are All-MLB sleeper picks.

With the All-MLB Team presented by MGM Rewards announced Saturday night during the inaugural All-MLB Weekend in Las Vegas, we turn our attention to 2024 and ask: Which players could be sleeper picks to be named to their first All-MLB squad next year?

From rising young stars who could have multiple All-MLB honors on their résumés before it’s all said and done, to one exciting player who has been so dominant that he could make the team as a rookie next season, here’s a look at 10 candidates:

Bobby Witt Jr., SS, Royals
The hype was off the charts when Witt made his MLB debut in 2022, a season for which he finished fourth in American League Rookie of the Year voting. But he took his performance to another level in ’23.

The 23-year-old shortstop became the first player in Royals history to hit at least 30 home runs and steal at least 30 bases in a single season, and only the second in AL/NL history with 30 homers and 49 steals at age 23 or younger (also Mike Trout in 2012). He finished seventh in AL MVP Award voting.

Witt actually got off to a slow start at the plate last season — at the All-Star break, he was hitting .257/.300/.442, though he did have 14 homers. In the second half, he caught fire, posting a .301/.343/.563 slash line with 16 homers the rest of the way.

As he ascends in the ranks of baseball’s best, it’s not hard to envision Witt being named to the All-MLB squad in 2024.
