The Midsummer Classic is on July 16, less than 10 days away. Soon, MLB players and their families will descend on Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas for the All-Star Game, baseball’s celebration of its best and brightest players.
But who will those players be? MLB has put out tantalizing tidbits over the last week, but the wait is finally over. The full rosters were released on Sunday.
Here’s a quick refresher on how these teams were chosen. Each roster of 32 players was put together using a combination of fan voting, player voting, and commissioner’s office choices. The fan vote determines the starting nine (eight position players plus designated hitter) for the American League and National League. 17 spots — five starting pitchers, three relievers, and one backup for each position — are determined by voting from the players themselves. And the six final spots on each team are filled by the commissioner’s office, who makes sure all 30 teams have at least one representative.
