The 2025 MLB All-Star Game will be hosted at Truist Park, featuring leading catchers Will Smith and Cal Raleigh in the spotlight. Raleigh is enjoying a historic offensive season, batting .276 with 31 home runs, while Smith excels with a .328 average and is praised for his defensive skills. Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts advocates strongly for Smith, highlighting his consistent performance and ability to support pitchers. Despite Raleigh's impressive stats and accolades, Roberts emphasizes Smith's all-around capabilities and leadership as key factors that place him as the best catcher in baseball.
I just think that his ability to get a big hit, I think that the throwing, I think what he does with our pitchers... So that's for me.
Smith is considered one of the best game-callers in the league and provides additional value with his defense behind the plate.
