For the second consecutive season, Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani was elected to the American League All-Star team as a pitcher and hitter, while brothers William Contreras and Willson Contreras will both start for the National League.
Ohtani, 28, was voted in as the designated hitter for the AL team then selected by MLB as a pitcher. He'll showcase his talents not far from his Angels home when the All-Star Game takes place down the road at Dodgers Stadium on July 19.
Joining him in Los Angeles will be Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw who made his ninth All-Star team and first since 2019.
