With less than two weeks remaining before the 2023 MLB All-Star Game in Seattle, the league revealed who will be taking the field to begin the game.
Los Angeles Angels two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani and Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. had already made the starting lineups by virtue of leading all voters in Phase 1 of All-Star voting. The rest of the spots went to a run-off in Phase 2, with the results announced Thursday on ESPN.
Let's just say the Texas Rangers, owners of MLB's top offense, were well-represented with four selections. The only other teams with multiple starters were the Tampa Bay Rays, Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers. Rookies also made both teams for the first time since 2008, with the Rangers' Josh Jung and the Arizona Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll getting nods. Carroll in particular has started to get MVP buzz thanks to an impressive start that currently has Arizona in first place in the NL West.
The 2023 MLB All-Star Game is scheduled to take place on July 11 at 9 p.m. ET at T-Mobile Park in Seattle . The Home Run Derby will take place the preceding night on July 10 at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN, and there is also the Future Game, featuring several top prospects, on July 16 at 7 p.m. ET.
