MLB All-Star Rosters Highlight Veterans and Rookies

The 2025 MLB All-Star rosters feature a diverse mix of veteran stars and newcomers, including Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw, who earned his 11th All-Star nod as a 'legend pick' after surpassing 3,000 career strikeouts. The Chicago Cubs have strong representation with Matthew Boyd earning his first selection after overcoming injuries, and outfielders Pete Crow-Armstrong and Kyle Tucker named as starters. San Diego Padres' Manny Machado (starting at third base), Fernando Tatis Jr., and Jason Adam join the National League squad, while Cincinnati’s Elly De La Cruz is his team's sole representative. Star pitchers Tarik Skubal from Detroit and Giants’ Logan Webb and Robbie Ray also made the roster. White Sox rookie Shane Smith made history as the first Rule 5 draft pick and the franchise’s first rookie pitcher to reach the All-Star team. The game, scheduled for July 15 in Atlanta, showcases a blend of established and breakthrough talents.
