The Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association (MLBPAA) is proud to announce the 30 team winners of the 2026 Heart and Hustle Award. The Heart and Hustle Award is the only award in Major League Baseball that is voted on by former players. Voting for team winners is conducted prior to the All-Star break. To determine the winners, the MLBPAA formed 30 committees comprised of alumni players with established relationships to each team. At the conclusion of the season, all alumni members and fans will vote to select the final winner from the 30 team winners.
