Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge will lead off for the National and American League teams respectively in the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, with both players also topping MLB jersey sales this season. Ohtani maintains the league's most popular jersey for a third consecutive year, while Judge has risen to second place, highlighting their performance and popularity. Thirteen of the top 20 in jersey sales are All-Star selections, including Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and Francisco Lindor. Pitchers Paul Skenes (NL) and Tarik Skubal (AL) are set to start, noted for their fastballs and recent performances. Five players, including Pete Crow-Armstrong and Skubal, have entered the top 20 jersey sales for the first time. The National League, managed by Dave Roberts, is seen as having a lineup advantage, though the American League has dominated recent All-Star Games.
