Here are the full rosters for the 2019 MLB All-Star Game
The 2019 MLB All-Star Game rosters are out, and they feature plenty of new blood for the Midsummer Classic at Cleveland’s Progressive Field on July 9.
Among the top pitchers for the National League All-Stars are owners of six of the last eight Cy Young Awards in Max Scherzer, Clayton Kershaw and Jacob deGrom, as well as some first-timers like Hyun-jin Ryu and Mike Soroka.
The NL reserves include Anthony Rendon finally getting his first All-Star selection, as well as rookie slugger Pete Alonso and three members of the Colorado Rockies.
Last year’s MVP in Mookie Betts leads the American League reserves alongside some other delightful sluggers like Joey Gallo and Daniel Vogelbach. Justin Verlander, making his eighth All-Star appearance, headlines a pitching staff heavy on new blood like Lucas Giolito, Mike Minor and Jake Odorizzi.
Ryu has already been confirmed by his manager Dave Roberts, who is also managing the NL squad, as the starter for the game. Who starts the game for the AL could come down to Verlander and Minor, among others.
