Major League Baseball announced on Sunday the full rosters for the 2025 All-Star Game. This year's Midsummer Classic will be played on Tuesday, July 15 at Truist Park, the regular season home of the Atlanta Braves. The All-Star Game will, as is tradition, close out a mini-celebration that includes the Futures Game, amateur draft, and Home Run Derby. (The draft will begin on the 13th while the Derby takes place the night of the 14th.)

All-Star Game starters were determined by fan vote. Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani received the most votes in their respective leagues, allowing them to skip the second phase of voting entirely. The rest of the roster was determined by players and coaches.

In all, 19 players are first-time All-Star selections this year -- nine in the National League and 10 in the American League. In related matters, this year's rosters feature 21 players age 26 or younger. The youngest of these is Washington Nationals slugger James Wood, who's a first-time All-Star at age 22 (and 292 days). Among more experienced choices, Dodgers lefty Clayton Kershaw will be making his 11th appearance at the Midsummer Classic. The future Hall of Famer who recently topped 3,000 career strikeouts was a "Legend Pick" by commissioner Rob Manfred. In 2022, Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera received the same honor. At age 37, Kershaw is also the oldest All-Star for 2025.

At the team level, the reigning-champion Los Angeles Dodgers lead all comers with five selections. In the AL, the Detroit Tigers top the loop with four selections. As is always the case, each of MLB's 30 teams have at least one All-Star representative.

The National League will be managed by Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts, a nice bonus after leading his squad to last year's World Series title. The American League, meanwhile, will be helmed by Yankees manager Aaron Boone. Each manager will select his team's starting pitcher.
