MLB All-Star Game starters: The 2023 NL and AL list, including Shohei Otani and Ronald Acuna

Of course the two runaway MVP candidates — for the moment — in the American and National Leagues will be starters in the 2023 MLB All-Star Game set for July 11 at T-Mobile Park, home of the Seattle Mariners.

Los Angeles Angels slugger/pitcher Shohei Ohtani and Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna were already the first two to take spots as starters in the AL and NL, respectively, thanks to MLB’s voting process.

We found out the rest of the starters on Thursday night, as the clock ticks down to the Midsummer Classic. Here’s the full list after the announcements:
