Shohei Ohtani Makes History as MLB Announces All-Star Game Rosters and Reserves

The MLB All-Star Game rosters are set after the reserves and pitchers were announced earlier this week on ESPN. Both the American League and National League teams of 32 are set to face-off at Coors Field next week.

MLB used a different selection process this year that included two different phases. The starters were announced on Thursday and were selected by fans—including Angels star Shohei Ohtani. The reserves and pitchers were selected by a combination of player ballots and picks made by the Commissioner’s Office.

Ohtani is the unquestionable star of the game who not only was named as the AL designated hitter, but was selected as a pitcher too.
