Major League Baseball is taking a brief but star-studded break to embark on another rendition of the midsummer classic. The 96th annual All-Star Game, held this year at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, will bring the best and brightest in the sport to screens nationwide.
This year’s game will feature 26 first-time All-Stars, including four rookies, such as Cincinnati Reds’ Sal Stewart, Detroit Tigers’ Kevin McGonigle and the Cleveland Guardians’ Parker Messick and Travis Bazzana. Reds second-year pitcher Chase Burns was also named to the All-Star roster.
The Braves, Dodgers and Phillies tied for the most selections of any club, with each sending five players to the All-Star Game. The Dodgers’ Freddie Freeman earned his 10th selection, and top vote-getter Shohei Ohtani got his sixth. The Braves’ Chris Sale will also make his 10th trip to the All-Star Game.
