KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two Royals players were selected by the Commissioner’s Office to join the American League squad for the 2025 All-Star Game, the team announced Sunday.
Shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. and left-handed pitcher Kris Bubic are on the roster for the July 15 game, which will be held at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia.
Witt’s appearance will be his second; last year, he was elected by players.
The 25-year-old entered Sunday leading the MLB with 30 doubles and tied for second in the American League with 24 stolen bases.
Witt is the second Royals shortstop to be named to the All-Star roster multiple times, per the team.
