BALTIMORE — Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan O'Hearn will start in the 2025 MLB All-Star Game.
Ryan O'Hearn reacts to being named the starting designated hitter for the American League team.
This will be the first time O'Hearn has been named an All-Star.
O'Hearn, 31, has tallied 11 home runs and 30 RBIs with a batting average of .295 so far this season.
Interim Manager Tony Mansolino shares the excitement over O'Hearn's trip to the All-Star game
"It's cool to get recognized like that in front of my teammates, you know, feel the love. I gave my own little version of a speech. I'm blown away," O'Hearn said.
O'Hearn joins Nelson Cruz as the only Baltimore designated hitters to earn a fan election.
The O's have claimed a total of 46 fan elections since fan balloting returned in 1970, trailing only the Yankees and Boston Red Sox among the American League clubs.
