The 2023 Major League Baseball All-Star Game is set for Tuesday night at Seattle's T-Mobile Park. On Monday, the scene was set by American League manager Dusty Baker of the Astros and National League skipper Rob Thomson of the Phillies, as they announced their starting pitchers and starting lineups.
As covered elsewhere, Gerrit Cole of the Yankees will start for the AL, and he'll oppose NL starter Zac Gallen of the Diamondbacks. Now let's have a look at the starting lineups. The players in these lineups were chosen by fan vote (though there have been some injury replacements), but the actual batting order is up to each league's manager.
Here's a look at the two starting nines:
