Jordan Walker named All-MLB second team; Burleson left off list

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker received All-MLB second team honors on November 12, 2026, after an impressive season in which he set career highs in multiple offensive categories. Meanwhile, first baseman Alec Burleson, who led Major League Baseball in RBI with 116, was not included on either All-MLB team, losing out to Pete Alonso and Willson Contreras. Walker's achievements in 2026 included All-Star recognition and a Home Run Derby title. Burleson, despite his significant RBI total and leading MLB in hits with runners in scoring position, was overlooked for an award. This recognition differentiates Walker from Burleson’s exclusion amidst an impactful season for both players.
