The MLB All-Star starters have officially been revealed. We may have known for some time that certain players, such as Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani and Ronald Acuna Jr. would be starting, but some of the other names and snubs might surprise you. Scroll below for the starters on both the American League and National League.
American League All-Star starters in 2022
Here are your 2022 American League All-Star starters.

Judge led the AL in during fan voting, guaranteeing his place as a starter in the outfield.
Surprisingly absent is MVP candidate Yordan Alvarez, who’s leading the MLB in OPS at 1.076 heading into Friday night’s action. Then again, with Ohtani taking the designated hitter spot, it’s hard to have too many issues with the slight.
