Shohei Ohtani has earned a starting spot in the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, his fifth consecutive selection and second since joining the Los Angeles Dodgers. After a successful 2024 All-Star appearance, questions arose about Ohtani pitching due to his recent return to the mound. However, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed he will only bat leadoff for the NL to avoid injury risks. Discussions surrounding Ohtani's potential participation in the Home Run Derby also arise, with Roberts leaving that decision to the player.
