What to know about All-Star Game: Lineups, pitchers, more

Back in 2021, the Braves won the World Series in the 44th week of the year that their forever No. 44, Henry Aaron, passed away. And now they’re hosting the Midsummer Classic on 7/15 — another number, sans slash, that will always be associated with Atlanta.

So an inner-circle legend of Braves past pervades the 2025 MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard on Tuesday night at Truist Park, and Hammerin’ Hank will rightly be honored with an innovative, in-game recreation of his famous 715th blast.

But of course it’s the game’s current conquerors who make up the National League and American League rosters. They, too, will give a nod to tradition with the return to wearing their regular-season uniforms as opposed to the All-Star-specific attire of recent years.

And this year’s exhibition will also give us a window into the future, too, with the automated ball-strike challenge system available to both clubs and getting its most prominent usage yet.

As Atlanta gears up to host the Midsummer Classic for the third time and the first in what is sure to be an electric Battery area, here’s everything you need to know about the 2025 All-Star Game.

Skubal will be the first Tigers pitcher to start the All-Star Game since Max Scherzer in 2013. The 23-year-old Skenes will be the youngest pitcher to start the All-Star Game in consecutive years.

Who are the managers?

Dave Roberts of the defending World Series champion Dodgers and Aaron Boone of the defending AL champion Yankees will serve as the managers.

This will be Roberts’ fourth All-Star Game as the manager of the NL team. He was at the helm in 2018, ’19 and ’21. Boone will be managing in the Midsummer Classic for the first time.

Joe Torre, who managed the Yankees to four World Series titles, is an honorary coach for the AL team, as is Guardians manager Stephen Vogt. Braves manager Brian Snitker and Marlins manager Clayton McCullough are the NL’s honorary coaches.
