Major League Baseball announced the starters for the 2023 All-Star Game on Thursday night, live on ESPN.

OF Ronald Acuña Jr is locked in as a starter, thanks to leading the National League (and all of baseball) in total votes in the 1st round of fan voting. It is his fourth All-Star selection.

Orlando Arcia won the 2nd round of fan voting at shortstop, coming in with 69% of the vote to Francisco Lindor's 31% and being announced the starter at his position. It is his 1st career All-Star selection.
