The curtain has fallen on another outstanding MLB season. It’s time for Baseball America to name its 2025 all-stars.

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.

You can find the complete first- and second-team MLB all-stars below. Also be sure to check out our MiLB all-stars for 2025.

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.

3B Jose Ramirez, Guardians

Ramirez authored his third career 30-30 season and his second in a row. He is one of the most well-rounded players in MLB and one of the most multi-dimensional third basemen in history. His 287 career stolen bases are the most for a third baseman of the live-ball era.

SS Bobby Witt Jr., Royals

Witt didn’t hit as many home runs, drive in as many runs or draw as many walks as he did in his MVP runner-up season in 2024. But he set the bar so ridiculously high last year that it obscures the fact that Witt does things on the field at levels not seen at shortstop since Alex Rodriguez was in his prime 20 years ago. 

OF Aaron Judge, Yankees

The incomparable Judge topped 50 home runs for a fourth time—tying the record—and became the sixth hitter since World War II to win the overall major league batting title while also leading MLB in on-base percentage and slugging. The others: Ted Williams, George Brett, Larry Walker, Barry Bonds and Miguel Cabrera. 

OF Julio Rodriguez, Mariners

Rodriguez’s combination of power, speed, fielding chops, arm strength and availability make him baseball’s best center fielder. The 24-year-old just completed his second 30-30 season in four tries. He and Bobby Witt Jr. are the only two hitters ever to do that twice before turning 25.

OF Juan Soto, Mets

Soto signed a record contract and set new personal standards with 43 home runs and 38 stolen bases, more than triple his previous best, while leading the NL with a .396 on-base percentage and setting the Mets franchise record with 126 walks.

DH Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers

Ohtani set a career high with 55 home runs, scored 146 runs in 158 games and led the NL with a 1.104 OPS. He returned to the mound in mid June and made 14 starts, logging a 2.87 ERA with 62 strikeouts in 47 innings. Ohtani is set to bring his unprecedented two-way game to the postseason for the first time after toiling with the Angels for six seasons and serving as DH-only last October. 

SP Hunter Brown, Astros

Brown continued to see results from emphasizing his sinker to righthanded batters and set career marks with a 28.3 percent strikeout rate, 7.8 percent walk rate and 2.43 ERA over a career high 185.1 innings.

SP Garrett Crochet, Red Sox

After watching the White Sox manage Crochet’s workload carefully in 2024, the Red Sox set him loose on the American League. He proved he was a No. 1 starter for a playoff team with his MLB-leading 255 strikeouts as one of three pitchers to top 200 innings this season.

SP Cristopher Sanchez, Phillies

Throwing one of the best changeups in the game and generating one of the highest groundball rates helped elevate Sanchez to his best season yet. He set new career standards with a 26.3 perecnt strikeout rate, 5.5 percent walk rate and 2.50 ERA, all while tossing 202 innings as one of three workhorses to reach that threshold this season.

SP Paul Skenes, Pirates

From Rookie of the Year in 2024 to likely NL Cy Young Award winner this year, Skenes is on the short list of top young aces in history. He struck out more than 200 batters with an ERA under 2.00, becoming the seventh pitcher since 2000 to accomplish the feat. The 23-year-old Skenes is by far the youngest.

SP Tarik Skubal, Tigers

Skubal won the Best Changeup category unanimously in AL Best Tools voting this year, and that’s fitting because it generated the most Statcast run value of any individual pitch this season. His 0.89 WHIP was lowest in MLB among qualified starters, while only Paul Skenes bettered his 2.21 ERA.  

RP Aroldis Chapman, Red Sox

The 37-year-old Chapman remains about as dominant as he was a decade ago—and notably as available despite his role as a reliever tending to be one subject to early burnouts. During one 17-game stretch this season, he was literally unhittable. From July 26 to Sept. 7, Chapman struck out 21, walked four and allowed zero hits over 14.2 innings.
