Acuña Only Brave Starting in 2025 All-Star Game

News summary

Ronald Acuña Jr. has been named a starting outfielder for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game at Truist Park in Atlanta, his fifth All-Star selection, and the only Braves player in the starting lineup. Despite missing the first eight weeks of the season recovering from a second ACL tear, Acuña led all National League outfielders in fan voting and matched a franchise record for All-Star starts held by Hank Aaron and Dale Murphy. He has posted a .350 batting average with nine home runs in just 35 games and will participate in the Home Run Derby. Acuña joins Joe DiMaggio as the only players to start an All-Star Game after debuting in their team's 50th game or later. The event is particularly significant as Atlanta is hosting the Midsummer Classic for the first time since 2000. Acuña expressed gratitude to fans and highlighted the special meaning of playing in his home stadium.
