Season 58 All-Stars

Members of the Yount League frequently discuss the legitimacy of all-star recognition, despite the existence of an official all-star game at the major league level. This year, the game features a seemingly matchup between the Nationals and the Reds, with the Nationals contributing eleven All-Stars to the American League roster and the Reds providing eight to the National League roster. The Diamondbacks have five players represented, while the Cardinals, Mariners, and Giants each have four all-stars. For the third consecutive year, eleven teams had no players selected, as there are no mandatory selections.

In the minor leagues, all levels, with the exception of Rookie, conduct an all-star game. Although the Rookie level is recognized, it does not engage in an actual game. The Minor League All-Stars were once again led by the rebuilding Red Sox, who impressively secured 28 selections. The Rays followed closely with 25 selections, including a notable 12 in Low A, the highest across all levels. The Twins achieved 22 selections. Interestingly, the Rangers did not have any selections in the minors, which is somewhat surprising given their strong record in the minor leagues.
