من الأسماء المنزلية إلى الوجوه الطازجة ، تعرف على 2025 MLB All-Stars

Unless you live under a rock, you probably know who Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge — the two stars of the 2024 World Series — are, but the list of stars in Major League Baseball goes well beyond those two superstars.

While this list doesn’t cover every All-Star and all the late additions to the ever-changing roster, the stage is mostly set for Tuesday’s Midsummer Classic, and we can place the majority of the players into their own categories.

Here are the household names, underrated players, the next wave of stars, the resurgent All-Stars, and, finally, the familiar faces in new places in the 2025 MLB All-Star Game:

Bryan Woo, RHP, Seattle Mariners: A first-time All-Star, Woo has been the best and most consistent member of a talented Seattle rotation with a 2.75 ERA and 0.93 WHIP that ranks fourth among AL starters.

Welcome Back (5+ years since last All-Star appearance)

Javier Baez, OF/SS, Detroit Tigers: Voted in by the fans as a starter, Báez went from averaging a .610 OPS over his first three years in Detroit to a .752 OPS this season. His .275 batting average is his highest since 2019, which was also his last All-Star appearance.

He has the highest wRC+ (hitting 33% above league average) among all qualified second basemen.

Robbie Ray, LHP, San Francisco Giants: Surprisingly, he wasn’t an All-Star when he was named the AL Cy Young in 2021, so this is Ray’s first All-Star nod since 2017. In his first full season since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2023, he ranks in the NL’s top six in ERA and strikeouts.

Eugenio Suarez, 3B, Arizona Diamondbacks: Ranks fourth in MLB and first among all third basemen with 31 home runs. He also leads all qualified third basemen in slugging and OPS. The 33-year-old is an All-Star for the first time since 2018.

Brandon Lowe, 2B, Tampa Bay Rays: Voted in by the players as a reserve, the 30-year-old was named an All-Star for the first time since 2019 but an oblique injury will prevent him from playing. Lowe, who is tied for the lead among second basemen in homers, was replaced by Maikel Garcia.

Isaac Paredes, 3B, Houston Astros: Playing for his fourth different MLB team, the third baseman has earned back-to-back All-Star honors, slashing .257/.357/.468 with 19 home runs in 92 games for the Astros.
