By Connor Stone



The full rosters for the 2024 MLB All-Star Game have been announced. Major League Baseball revealed the complete lineups for the American League (AL) and National League (NL) on Sunday, adding pitchers and reserves to the fan-elected starters that were previously unveiled on July 3. The 94th Midsummer Classic is set to take place on July 16 at Globe Life Field, starting at 8 p.m. ET on FOX.


How To Get In On The Action:


This year's All-Star rosters are notably filled with fresh faces, as 32 players are making their first All-Star appearances. However, familiar names are also present, with 13 players earning at least their third consecutive selection. Leading the pack are Mookie Betts with his eighth straight selection and Freddie Freeman with his sixth.

Additionally, the 2024 rosters feature 24 internationally born All-Stars representing countries such as the Dominican Republic (10), Venezuela (6), Japan (2), Puerto Rico (2), Canada (1), Cuba (1), Curaçao (1), and Mexico (1).
