The starters for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game have been unveiled. The American League and National League will play the Midsummer Classic on 15 July 2025 at Atlanta\u2019s Truist Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four Dominicans are included. MLB lists these as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American League:
First base: Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Blue Jays
Mere months after signing a franchise-altering 14-year, $500 million extension, Guerrero has produced in a big way yet again with a .380 OBP, .828 OPS and 12 home runs in 84 games. This is Vlad Jr.\u2019s second straight selection as an All-Star Game starter and his fourth in the last five years, as he chases his father\u2019s total of six career fan vote victories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third base: Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez, Guardians
Another year, another excellent season for Cleveland\u2019s star third baseman. With 13 home runs and 21 steals in 80 games, Ram\u00edrez is on pace for his fifth straight 20-20 season and the seventh of his career. Ram\u00edrez paces all third basemen with 3.2 WAR and is second behind Eugenio Su\u00e1rez, among qualifiers, with his .860 OPS. This is Ram\u00edrez\u2019s seventh All-Star selection in what could very well be a Hall of Fame career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National League:
Second base: Ketel Marte, D-backs
Marte has been the most valuable second baseman in baseball, and at least based on offensive performance, it’s not close. Out from April 5 through May 1 with a hamstring injury, Marte has only played 59 games but already has 17 home runs. Among primary second basemen with at least 200 PA on the year, he leads in just about every major category including fWAR (3.0), average (.296), OBP (.400) and SLG (.583).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third base: Manny Machado, Padres
As per usual, the 32-year-old Machado is anchoring the Padres\u2019 lineup, hitting a steady .293 with 13 home runs and 47 RBIs. In 14 seasons, he’s put together quite a diverse resume; he’s won the fan vote in both leagues, both at third base (2016, ’22, ’25) and at shortstop (’18), and with this year’s fan selection he is officially a seven-time All-Star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
