The Los Angeles Dodgers will send five players to represent the organization in the 2026 All-Star Game in Philadelphia.
This marks the seventh consecutive year in which the Dodgers send five or more players to the All-Star Game.
The five representatives are Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Andy Pages, Max Muncy and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
Ohtani (his sixth selection) was the first to be selected as he earned himself an automatic bid to be a starter via the fan vote. He'll be the starting designated hitter.
This is the first year in a Dodgers uniform that Ohtani has played the two-way role.
And wouldn't you know it, it's no surprise that he's a starter for the National League in the Midsummer Classic once more.
In 309 at-bats, Ohtani is slashing .288/.403/.927 with 18 home runs and 50 RBIs. In terms of pitching, his numbers are definitely All-Star worthy.

In 14 starts, he is 8-2 with a sub-two ERA (1.79) and 95 strikeouts through 85.2 innings pitched.
Freeman won the vote at first base over the Atlanta Braves' Matt Olson. This selection not only marks the 10th All-Star Game bid of his career, but it is Freeman's eighth straight selection.
In 86 games, Freeman is slashing .293/.383/.880 with 14 home runs and 47 RBIs.

For Pages, this marks his first All-Star selection after a first-half performance in which he produced all around the field. Offensively, Pages is slashing .269/.331/.808 in 88 games with 16 home runs and leads all Dodgers hitters with 62 RBI.
Muncy earned his third All-Star selection very convincingly. In 82 games, the 35-year-old third baseman is slashing .268/.362/.873 and has also generated six Outs Above Average, according to Baseball Savant, at the hot corner.
Yamamoto is also making a splash with his second All-Star selection in three seasons. The 2025 World Series MVP has posted an ERA of 2.67 in 15 starts and has punched out 97 batters in 97.2 innings pitched.
Manager Dave Roberts will have plenty of familiar faces around him as he manages his fifth All-Star Game.
Roberts will bring along Danny Lehmann (NL Bench Coach), Mark Prior (Pitching Coach), Chris Woodward (NL First Base Coach), Dino Ebel (NL Third Base Coach), Aaron Bates (NL Hitting Coach), Robert Van Scoyoc (NL Hitting Coach), Josh Bard (NL Bullpen Coach), Connor McGuiness (NL Assistant Pitching Coach), Bob Geren (NL Field Coordinator), Brandon McDaniel (NL Development Integration Coach), J.T. McDaniel (NL Game Planning Coach) and Yosuke Nakajima (NL Athletic Trainer).
