Latin America shines in the 2025 All-Star Game with eight starters in the Major Leagues

ATLANTA.– Latin American talent once again leaves its mark on the Major Leagues. Eight players of Latin origin will be starters in the expected 2025 All-Star Game, which will be held on July 15 at Truist Park in Atlanta, turning the event into a true celebration of Caribbean and South American baseball.

The official lineups, recently revealed after the fans' vote, reflect not only the high performance of these players in the current season, but also the fervor of a global fanbase that recognizes and supports the Latin contribution in the best baseball in the world.

American League: Caribbean power on the diamond

Four of the nine American League starters have Latin blood, led by Dominican Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (Toronto Blue Jays), who will be the starter for the fourth time in his young but brilliant career. Puerto Rican Javier Báez, converted into a center fielder with the Detroit Tigers, returns to the stellar lineup for the third time, while his teammate, Venezuelan Gleyber Torres, will make his debut as a starter at second base. Completing the solid Caribbean representation is also the Dominican José Ramírez (Cleveland Guardians), who will guard the anteroom in his fourth start in an All-Star Game.

National League: Latin show guaranteed

In the National League, four other Latin names lead the lineup. Venezuelan Ronald Acuña Jr. (Atlanta Braves), a local favorite and iconic figure of the league, will command the outfield for the fifth time as a starter, solidifying his status as one of the most electrifying players of the last decade. From the infield, the Dominican Republic adds two more representatives: Ketel Marte (Arizona Diamondbacks) at second base, and Manny Machado (San Diego Padres) at third, who will play their third and fourth All-Star Games as starters, respectively. The shortstop will be the Puerto Rican Francisco Lindor (New York Mets), who, despite his extensive career, will have his first opportunity as a starter in the "Summer Classic" this year.

A Golden Generation

The prominent presence of these eight players reaffirms the decisive impact that Latin America has on Major League Baseball. Their talent, discipline, and passion elevate the level of the spectacle, and they promise a memorable night for fans in Atlanta and around the world.
