MAJOR LEAGUE ALL-STAR TEAM

After the curtain fell on another outstanding MLB season, Baseball America named its 2025 all-stars.

Among the things the 2025 season will be remembered for are power, speed and, well, power.

A record seven players went 30-30: Corbin Carroll, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Pete Crow-Armstrong, Francisco Lindor, Jose Ramirez, Julio Rodriguez and Juan Soto. Four of those players made our MLB all-star teams.

Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, Cal Raleigh and Kyle Schwarber all hit 50 or more home runs, tying the record for most players in a season to reach the half-century mark. All four made our MLB all-star teams.

C CAL RALEIGH, MARINERS

Sixty! Raleigh shattered Salvador Perez's four-year-old record for home runs in a season by a catcher, hitting 60 in 158 games for the AL West division champions. Raleigh also set records for home runs by a switch-hitter (Mickey Mantle, 54) and by a Mariners hitter (Ken Griffey Jr., 56).

1B NICK KURTZ, ATHLETICS

Rare is the rookie who makes our MLB all-star team, but Kurtz was just that good as a first-year big leaguer—and in his second pro season, no less. The 22-year-old was one of just 13 rookies in history to hit 35 or more home runs in a season and one of just seven to post an OPS of 1.000 or better in a rookie season of at least 450 plate appearances.

2B KETEL MARTE, DIAMONDBACKS

Marte moved ahead of Jose Altuve as the top offensive second baseman in baseball in 2023 and kept up the pace by turning in a typically strong season this year. He hit for average, drew walks and slugged .500 for the third time in his career in a qualifying season.
