List of Major League Baseball All-Star Game starting pitchers

Last updated July 19, 2024

Below is a list of starting pitchers for the American League and National League in each Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Major League Baseball has held an All-Star Game nearly every year since 1933; no All-Star Game was held in 1945 or 2020, and two All-Star Games per year were held from 1959 to 1962.^[1] The pitching staffs for the two leagues are determined by a ballot of current players and the commissioner of baseball, and the starting pitcher is designated by each team's manager.^[2] Unlike regular season and postseason baseball games, starting pitchers generally only pitch one or two innings to allow the rest of the pitching staff opportunities to enter the game.^[3]
