PRESS RELEASE: FRANCISCO LINDOR NAMED NATIONAL LEAGUE ALL-STAR STARTER



FLUSHING, N.Y., July 2, 2025 – Major League Baseball today announced that Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor will start for the National League All-Star team in the 2025 All-Star Game on Tuesday, July 15 in Atlanta.

 

Lindor will make his first trip to the Midsummer Classic as a member of the Mets and his fifth overall after making four straight AL All-Star teams with Cleveland from 2016-19.

 

Lindor will become the third Mets shortstop to start for the National League, joining Buddy Harrelson (1971) and José Reyes (2007). Reyes was named a starter in 2011, but was injured and didn't start.

 

The last time the Mets had a fan-elected starter was in 2016 when Yoenis Céspedes started in the outfield.

 

The pitchers and reserves will be announced on Sunday, July 6 at 5 p.m. on ESPN.
