Each manager and up to six coaches on his staff vote from a pool of qualified players in their respective League, and cannot vote for players on their own team.

The SABR Defensive Index comprised of approximately 25 percent of the overall selection total, with the managers and coaches’ vote continuing to carry the majority.
