Major League Baseball announced on June 17 the coaching staffs for both the American League and National League for the 95th All-Star Game, which will take place July 15 at Truist Park in Atlanta, Ga., and will be televised on FOX at 8 p.m. EDT.

Coverage of the MLB All-Star Game will begin at 7 p.m. EDT on FOX and Fox Sports 1 on July 15.

The American League coaching staff will include 2024 American League champion and New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone, along with Cleveland Guardians manager Stephen Vogt. Boone invited four-time World Series champion and Hall of Famer Joe Torre to serve as an honorary coach for the AL squad.

The National League coaching staff will feature two-time World Series champion and Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, alongside 2021 World Series-winning manager Brian Snitker of the host Atlanta Braves. First-year Miami Marlins manager Clayton McCullough will also serve as an honorary coach. The Dodgers coaching staff will support the NL team for the All-Star Game.

Boone guided the Yankees to their 41st AL pennant in 2024 before falling to the Dodgers in five games in the World Series. A one-time All-Star, Boone played 12 seasons in the majors with the Cincinnati Reds from 1997–2003, the Yankees in 2003, Cleveland Indians from 2005–06, the Florida Marlins in 2007, the Washington Nationals in 2008, and the Houston Astros in 2009.

Torre helped restore the Yankees’ dynasty in his first season in the Bronx, leading the team to its 23rd World Series title in 1996, then capturing three straight championships from 1998–2000. He was let go following the 2007 season. Torre was named AL Manager of the Year in 1996 and 1998.

Torre also managed the New York Mets from 1977–81, the Atlanta Braves from 1982–84, the St. Louis Cardinals from 1990–95, and the Dodgers from 2008–10. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014.

Over 18 seasons as a player, Torre played for the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves from 1960–68, the Cardinals from 1969–74, and the Mets from 1975–77. A nine-time All-Star, he won a Gold Glove in 1965 and was named National League MVP in 1971, when he also led the league in batting average and RBIs.

Torre has managed six AL All-Star teams, tying Hall of Famer Tony La Russa for fourth-most all-time behind Casey Stengel (10), Walter Alston (nine), and Joe McCarthy (seven). He served as MLB’s Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations from 2011–14 and was named Chief Baseball Officer in 2014. Torre has been special assistant to Commissioner Rob Manfred since 2020.

Vogt was a two-time All-Star in 2015 and 2016 and played 10 seasons in MLB with the Tampa Bay Rays (2012), Oakland Athletics (2013–17, 2022), Milwaukee Brewers (2017), San Francisco Giants (2019), Arizona Diamondbacks (2020–21), and Atlanta Braves (2021). After retiring, Vogt was hired by the Seattle Mariners as bullpen and quality control coach for the 2023 season.

He became manager of the Cleveland Guardians on November 6, 2023, and led the team to the AL Central Division title in 2024, earning AL Manager of the Year honors.

Roberts played 10 seasons in the majors with the Cleveland Indians (1999–2001), Dodgers (2002–04), Red Sox (2004), Padres (2005–06), and Giants (2007–08). He was part of Boston’s 2004 championship team that ended the franchise’s 86-year title drought.

Roberts began coaching with the Padres, serving as first base coach from 2011–13 and then as bench coach in 2014 and 2015 before taking over as Dodgers manager. He was named NL Manager of the Year in 2016 and has managed the Dodgers since.

Snitker has managed the Braves since 2016 and was named NL Manager of the Year in 2018. He led Atlanta to its fourth World Series title in 2021 with a six-game victory over the Astros. Snitker began coaching in the Braves’ minor league system in 1985 and later served as Atlanta’s third base coach from 2007–13.

McCullough is in his first year managing the Marlins after working as the Dodgers’ first base coach from 2021–24. He previously managed in the Toronto Blue Jays’ minor league system from 2007–14, compiling a 629–559 record across the rookie and Single-A levels, and later served as the Dodgers’ Minor League Field Coordinator.

McCullough was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 22nd round of the 2002 MLB Draft and played in their minor league system through 2005. His stops included rookie-level Burlington, Single-A Lake County, High-A Kinston, Double-A Akron, and Triple-A Buffalo.
