Collaboration between writers from MLB.com and Yahoo Sports for this season’s baseball coverage.
The All-Star Game MVP Award was named after Ted Williams in 2002, 40 years after its debut in 1962. While all winners are All-Stars, some are legendary, while others are under-the-radar.
Recent winners include Mike Trout, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Giancarlo Stanton, and Elias Díaz. Who will shine this year at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas?
Our writers make their predictions:
Manny Randhawa (MLB): NL starter Skenes has been dominating hitters and could shine on the big stage.
Russ Dorsey (Yahoo Sports): Elly De La Cruz’s all-around skills could lead to an MVP performance.
David Adler (MLB): Ohtani has the potential for a standout moment and MVP win.
Jake Mintz (Yahoo Sports): Marte’s success against lefties could give him an edge for MVP.
Andrew Simon (MLB): Perez’s experience and skills make him a sentimental choice for MVP.
6. David Fry, DH, Guardians (AL)
Guardians’ David Fry could be a surprising MVP with a hometown advantage.
Stay tuned for the All-Star Game to see who will shine and claim the coveted MVP title!
