We know Shohei Ohtani is already a 2025 All-Star and will be the National League’s starting designated hitter. But the Dodgers have seven — count ’em — seven players in Phase 2 of the voting that has begun today (Vote here: Dodgers.com/vote).
Imagine that — eight potential Dodger starters in the All-Star Game.
It would be unprecedented.
The most starters from one team in an All-Star Game is five. It has happened five times.
The 2023 Texas Rangers are the last team with Marcus Semien, Corey Seager, Adolis García, Josh Jung and Jonah Heim all starting in Seattle.
Previous teams with five starters are the 1939 Yankees and 1956, 1957 and 1976 Reds.
The Dodgers have the following players in Phase 2 of the voting (which will determine All-Star starters; voting ends Wednesday at 9 a.m.):
Catcher: Will Smith
First Base: Freddie Freeman
Second Base: Tommy Edman
Third Base: Max Muncy
Shortstop: Mookie Betts
Outfield: Teoscar Hernández and Andy Pages

Dodger manager Dave Roberts is the National League’s manager for the 2025 All-Star Game in Atlanta.
The pitchers and reserves for both squads — totaling 23 for each side — will be determined through a combination of player ballot choices and selections made by the Commissioner’s Office. The balance of the All-Star rosters will be announced during the MLB All-Star Selection Show on Sunday at 2:00 p.m. (PT) on ESPN.
The most All-Stars the Dodgers have had in one season is seven — which they had in 1952, 1951 and 1950, 1949, 1942 and 1941.
The Dodgers had six All-Stars in 2024: Ohtani, Freeman, Betts, Smith, Hernández and Tyler Glasnow.
The Yankees’ 10 All-Stars in 1939 is the record.
