The full rosters for the 2024 All-Star Game have been revealed. Major League Baseball announced the rosters for the American League and National League on Sunday, adding the pitchers and reserves to the fan-elected starting lineups that were revealed on July 3. The 94th Midsummer Classic presented by Mastercard will take place on July 16 at Globe Life Field at 8 p.m. ET on FOX.

This year's rosters feature 32 players receiving their first All-Star selections, alongside another 13 players who received at least their third consecutive nod. Notable among them are Mookie Betts with his eighth straight selection and Freddie Freeman with his sixth.

There are also 24 internationally born All-Stars in this year's lineup, representing countries such as the Dominican Republic (10 All-Stars), Venezuela (six), Japan (two), Puerto Rico (two), Canada (one), Cuba (one), Curaçao (one) and Mexico (one).

For the American League, notable starters include Adley Rutschman from Baltimore Orioles as catcher, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. from Toronto Blue Jays at first base, and Aaron Judge from New York Yankees in outfield. Judge leads baseball in home runs, RBIs, SLG, and OPS.

In the National League, Bryce Harper from Philadelphia Phillies is set to start at first base despite being sidelined since June due to a hamstring strain. Shohei Ohtani of Los Angeles Dodgers will be making his fourth consecutive start as designated hitter.

Pitching staffs for both leagues include several fresh faces making their debut appearances. Tyler Anderson of Los Angeles Angels and Corbin Burnes of Baltimore Orioles lead a group of seven new pitchers for the American League. For the National League, standout names include rookie Paul Skenes from Pittsburgh Pirates.

Among catchers selected are Salvador Perez from Kansas City Royals for the American League and Will Smith from Los Angeles Dodgers for the National League.

The list of infielders includes Carlos Correa from Minnesota Twins and Rafael Devers from Boston Red Sox for the American League; CJ Abrams from Washington Nationals and Pete Alonso from New York Mets represent notable picks for the National League.
