The starting lineups for the 2023 MLB All-Star Game are officially set.

This year’s Midsummer Classic will be held at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, marking the third time the Emerald City has hosted the game. The league had two rounds of voting to determine the starters for the annual exhibition game—the first to narrow down a collection of finalists, and a second this week to settle on the starting players.

Angels two-way sensation Shohei Ohtani and Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. had already earned their starting spots before Thursday’s announcement show on ESPN by virtue of leading their respective leagues in voting through the end of the first round. Now, they know who will be joining them in the lineup.

The Dodgers and Braves each had three players get voted in by the fans, while the Rangers led all teams with four starters. Here’s the full list of starters below.
