ATLANTA, Ga. – From Tokyo to Tijuana to Würzburg, the 2025 MLB All-Star Game was a global affair on the field and red carpet. Seventeen players born outside the United States took the field Tuesday night at Truist Park, and many delivered in big moments. Shohei Ohtani, Ketel Marte, Alejandro Kirk, and Brendan Donovan were among the international standouts who helped lead the National League to a 7-6 win in 10 innings over the American League.
