The Los Angeles Dodgers are on the verge of tying a record that has stood for over seven decades. And all it takes is a few more votes. With Shohei Ohtani already locked in as the National League’s All-Star designated hitter after leading all NL players in fan voting, the Dodgers now have six more position players among the finalists.
If all are voted in, the Dodgers would tie the MLB record for most position players selected as All-Star starters in a single year: seven.
Dodgers chasing a record set by the 1956 and 1976 Reds
The most position players ever voted to start an MLB All-Star Game from a single team is five — a feat accomplished by the 1956 Cincinnati Redlegs and later matched by the 1976 Cincinnati Reds.
Both teams were offensive powerhouses in their time, but even with fan momentum behind them, they never crossed the five-starter mark. If Dodgers fans push just a little harder, history could repeat itself in 2025.
Now, Dodgers fans have the chance to do it again. This time, in the social media era.
Dodgers can make All-Star history in 2025
Alongside Ohtani, Will Smith, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Tommy Edman, Max Muncy, Teoscar Hernández, and Andy Pages are all among the Phase 2 All-Star finalists.
These aren’t just big names—they’re producing. Smith leads NL catchers in OBP, Freeman is maintaining All-Star caliber numbers despite a slump, and Muncy has found new life since adding glasses. Betts, meanwhile, has made the leap to shortstop at age 32 and done it with poise.
Voting closes July 2
If Dodgers fans want to make history, the time is now. Phase 2 voting ends July 2, and if L.A. sends seven position players to the All-Star Game on July 15 in Atlanta, it will mark the first time any team has done so in the modern internet era.
This isn’t just a stat-padding achievement—it’s a reflection of how dominant and beloved the Dodgers roster has become. From veterans like Freeman and Betts to breakout stars like Pages. The team has built a fan-favorite core that blends performance, personality, and popularity.
If fans rally behind them this week, the Dodgers won’t just lead the league in talent. They’ll make history doing it.
