Dodgers star Mookie Betts ran the table in voting, while the Los Angeles squad was one of four teams with multiple players selected for inclusion in the 2022 Sporting News National League All-Stars.
Voting took place during September and early October among a panel of 17 NL executives, with the results giving evidence of the immense star power found in the Senior Circuit. Betts was the only player named on all 17 ballots, while Braves phenom Michael Harris II was the only NL rookie to earn a nod.
