Although there is debate among members of the Yount League about the validity of all-star recognition, there is an actual all-star game on the major league level. It was a pretty balanced year, with the Marlins and Tigers taking over the NL with six selections each. With no mandatory all-star selection from each team, seven teams were shut out of recognition at the major league level, the same as last year.
In the minor leagues, every level has an all-star game except Rookie, which recognizes but has no actual game. The Braves took the crown from the Orioles, with 21 total selections as they continue to build a dominant minor league system. The Orioles checked in with 19. Every team had a minor-league selection this year, which rarely happens.
