Cal Raleigh, rookie Jacob Wilson among MLB All-Star starters - ESPN

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, MLB's home run leader, and American League Rookie of the Year candidate Jacob Wilson of the Athletics will be the starting lineup for the All-Star Game, it was announced Wednesday.

Three players from the Detroit Tigers — second baseman Gleyber Torres and outfielders Riley Greene and Javier Baez — will join them in the AL's starting lineup, while the National League starters are led by three representatives from the Los Angeles Dodgers — first baseman Freddie Freeman, catcher Will Smith and DH Shohei Ohtani, who received the most votes among NL players during Phase I of the voting.

The MLB All-Star Game will be held at Truist Park in Atlanta on July 15.

Raleigh, nicknamed «The Big Dumper,» earned his first All-Star selection and starting spot on the back of his 33 first-half home runs. Wilson, the Athletics' shortstop, was voted in after a dynamic first half in which he's hit .339, second in all of MLB, through Tuesday's games.

The 23-year-old Wilson is the lone rookie in either league to be voted into the starting lineup. He's the first rookie shortstop to win a fan election and will be just the second rookie in All-Star history to start at the position.

The Tigers had three fan-elected starters for the fourth time in history, matching a franchise best also accomplished in 1984, 1985 and 2007. Meanwhile, the three fan elections for the Dodgers marks their most in a single season since the team had four fan-elected starters for the 1980 Midsummer Classic — Steve Garvey, Davey Lopes, Bill Russell, Reggie Smith.

For Torres and Baez, it marks the first time since 2019 that they are All-Stars.
