Hunter Goodman Named Rockies' All-Star Catcher

Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman, age 25, has been selected as the team's only representative for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, becoming only the second Rockies catcher after Elias Díaz in 2023 to earn this honor. Goodman leads all National League catchers in several offensive categories, with a .281 batting average, 16 home runs before the break (a team record for catchers), and 50 RBIs. His recent five-week stretch has highlighted his breakout season during a challenging year for Colorado. The All-Star Game will feature 19 first-time selections, and Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw will make his 11th appearance as a 'Legend Pick.' The Dodgers lead all teams with five All-Stars. Despite a strong season, Rockies reliever Jake Bird was not selected.
