2023 AL All-Star team

Shohei Ohtani missed the last month of the season with an oblique strain, and he was still the best player in the American League. The Angels DH-pitcher hit .304/.412/.654 with 44 home runs and 102 runs. On the mound, he was 10-5 with a 3.14 ERA in 23 starts. Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole was the league’s best pitcher, and Orioles infielder Gunnar Henderson was the top rookie. The Orioles and the Rays each placed three players on my AL All-Star team. The Rangers added two players and manager Bruce Bochy.
