During the Triple-A national championship game Saturday night, Major League Baseball announced the Triple-A season awards and All-Star team selections.

Norfolk’s Dylan Beavers won the International League MVP award while also being named an All-Star alongside teammate Samuel Basallo. Beavers became the eighth Tide to win the International League MVP and the second to do so as an Orioles affiliate (following Ryan Mountcastle in 2019).

Beavers, 24, played 94 games with the Tides this season and hit .304 (104 for 418) with 78 runs, 14 doubles, two triples, 18 home runs, 51 RBIs, 23 stolen bases and 68 walks, while slashing .420/.515/.934. He finished ranked among league leaders in on-base percentage (second at .420), OPS (fourth at .934), slugging percentage (eighth at 515) and runs (10th), among other categories.

He was called up Aug. 16 and played the rest of the season for Baltimore.

Basallo, 21, played 76 games for Norfolk in 2025. He hit .280 (73 for 270) with 49 runs, 17 doubles, 23 home runs, 67 RBIs and 44 walks, posting a .966 OPS. Basallo ranked tied for eighth in home runs in the league, and through his final game with the Tides on Aug. 15, he ranked ninth in RBI (67s). Basallo became the first Tide since Todd Hundley (1991) to be named a postseason All-Star at the catcher position.
