MLB Honors Top Talent at the 2024 All-MLB Awards Show in Las Vegas
Major League Baseball is celebrating its top performers with the second annual All-MLB Awards Show, held at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. The event, which aired live on MLB Network on November 14, featured a star-studded lineup of current and former players, as well as MLB Network on-air talent. Comedian Roy Wood Jr. returned to host the ceremony for the second year, bringing his unique blend of humor and baseball insight to the stage[3].
The awards show included the announcement of several prestigious honors, such as the All-MLB Team, the Hank Aaron Awards for the best offensive performance in each league, the Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman Relievers of the Year, the Edgar Martinez Outstanding Designated Hitter of the Year, and the Comeback Player of the Year. Shohei Ohtani is a strong contender for the Edgar Martinez Outstanding Designated Hitter Award, having won it in each of the past three seasons[1].
The event was enhanced by a significant increase in production quality, with MLB Network rolling out a full onsite production at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The collaboration with the Solomon Group aimed to improve the in-house experience for fans, making the night more enjoyable with enhanced music, entertainment, and production elements.
A plethora of current and former MLB players attended the ceremony, including Mookie Betts, Dylan Cease, Emmanuel Clase, William Contreras, and CC Sabathia, among others. The show also featured appearances by MLB Network talent such as Greg Amsinger, Siera Santos, Lauren Shehadi, Harold Reynolds, and Chris Young[3].
The All-MLB Awards Show marked the beginning of the second-annual All-MLB Weekend presented by MGM Rewards, a celebration that recognizes the top player performances during the regular season. The event was broadcast live on MLB Network and simulcast on MLB.com, MLB.TV, and the MLB app[5]).
