Steven Kwan's second consecutive All-Star selection validates his status as one of baseball's top outfielders.
After earning his seventh-career selection and fourth start in the All-Star Game, the Guardians third baseman will skip the Midsummer Classic.
This is Steven Kwan's second consecutive All-Star selection. He'll be a reserve outfielder for the AL, joining Jose Ramirez as Guardians All-Stars.
The team says Ramírez will instead 'focus on recovery and preparation for the second half of the season.' The 32-year-old has dealt with several nagging injuries.
What’s particularly telling about Kwan’s reputation among his peers is the universal respect for his complete game. He currently leads the American League with eight outfield assists, complementing his exceptional hitting with elite defense.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize is expected to be named to the 2025 American League All-Star team, his first selection.
