MLB All-Star Game 2019: Start time, TV channel, full rosters for AL and NL teams | Sporting News

The 2019 MLB All-Star Game rosters reflect not only the emergent players from the first half of the season, but also the teams on the rise. Of the 17 announced starters, only one currently plays for an organization below .500.

Mike Trout, the lone exception, is part of an Angels squad still hovering around the edge of AL wild card contention. He’s also perhaps baseball’s best player and a mainstay in All-Star lineups, clubbing 22 home runs already this campaign.

Much like the last Cleveland-hosted All-Star Game in 1997, when young players such as Nomar Garciaparra and Mariano Rivera participated, the 2019 event will introduce an array of new faces to casual fans nationwide. Ronald Acuña Jr. and Matt Chapman are among those making their first appearances in this mid-summer classic.
