Here’s a look at the Orioles who are featured on this year’s All-Star Ballot:

DH – Ryan O’Hearn

If Baltimore were to name its Most Valuable Oriole through the first two and a half months of the season, Ryan O’Hearn’s name would be at the top of that list. O’Hearn’s career year so far has him on the cusp of his first career All-Star nod, and he is showing no signs of slowing down.

Among qualified AL hitters, O’Hearn ranks in the top five in batting average (.329, 4th), on-base percentage (.416, 2nd), slugging percentage (.535, T-5th), and OPS (.951, 3rd). He has reached base safely in 45 of his 49 games this season, and his current 18-game on-base streak is the second longest by an Orioles batter this season. O’Hearn’s advanced numbers have also been great this season, including a career-high 52.1 percent hard-hit rate that ranks in the top 10 percent of all MLB players. O'Hearn has also fared extremely well in left-on-left matchups, with his .333 batting average ranking third in the AL and fifth in the majors (min. 30 AB). His success this season can also be attributed to his strong play away from Camden Yards, with his .363 batting average on the road ranking fourth in MLB (min. 80 AB).

If selected, O’Hearn will become the second Oriole in franchise history to start as the designated hitter in the All-Star Game, joining Nelson Cruz in 2014, and there is no reason that shouldn’t happen.

C – Adley Rutschman

The former No. 1 overall draft pick is no stranger to All-Star Week festivities, having appeared in each of the last two All-Star games. He also represented the O’s in the 2023 T-Mobile Home Run Derby in Seattle and the 2021 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game in Denver.

Since the beginning of 2023, the Orioles’ backstop ranks in the top five among catchers in bWAR (8.1, 4th), fWAR (8.9, 4th), runs (174, 4th), hits (344, T-2nd), doubles (59, 3rd), RBI (174, 5th), and walks (174, 2nd). His plate discipline has been a key component in his game, and this season he ranks in the top 10 percent of MLB players in chase rate (20%, 91st percentile) and whiff rate (14.9%, 92nd percentile). Rutschman’s keen eye at the dish and great command of the pitching staff has been of immense value to the Orioles, helping the club reach the Postseason in consecutive years for the first time since 1996-97.

1B – Ryan Mountcastle

With a powerful swing and a glove that should be gold-tinged, Ryan Mountcastle has made himself a staple in the Orioles lineup since debuting in 2020. As the weather has warmed up this year, so has his bat; since May 1, the hard-hitting first baseman was slashing .298/.320/.394 (28-for-94) and hit safely in 20 of his last 24 games since April 30 before being placed on the 10-day Injured List on May 31 with a right hamstring strain. Mountcastle notched eight multi-hit efforts, including a season-high three knocks on May 27 and his 12-game hitting streak from May 4-18 was the longest by any Oriole and the longest by an AL first baseman this year.

The quick-footed infielder is looking for his first All-Star nod and is ready to bring a taste of his power-hitting prowess to this year’s Midsummer Classic.

2B – Jackson Holliday

Jackson Holliday’s breakout sophomore season isn’t a fluke. The 21-year-old’s solid bat, steady baserunning, and improved defense shot him into the leadoff spot in the O’s lineup and has proved he is worthy of an All-Star nod. Since April 23, he ranks among all AL second basemen in hits (1st, 39), slugging percentage (1st, .477), stolen bases (1st, 4), batting average (2nd, .295), extra-base hits (2nd, 12), RBI (3rd, 25), and on-base percentage (4th, .320). Holliday is hitting an MLB-best .448 (30-for-67) through the first three innings of the game.

In addition to carving his path as a top second baseman in the majors, Holliday is setting personal career highs each day in nearly every statistical category. He has reduced both his strikeout rate and set career highs in barrel rate (10.3%) and hard-hit rate (45.9%). Holliday is hitting the ball harder, farther, and smarter, as he works his way up the leaderboards this season.

Just two years removed from being chosen as the No. 1 overall pick, Holliday has proven he deserves to take a trip to Atlanta for the 2025 All-Star Game.

3B – Ramón Urías

Ramón Urías’ dominance on the field and at the plate this season may seem quiet on a roster full of talented Orioles, but it's a loud call for the deservedness of his first career All-Star nod. Urías has taken the full-time third baseman role in stride, hitting a career-best (min. 50 PA) .279 average (36-for-129) and plating 18 runs so far this year. His 11-game hitting streak from May 17-28 was the longest of his career, during which he hit .310 (13-for-42), and marked the second longest streak by an Oriole this season. His two outs above average are tied for third among all AL third basemen, and the former Gold Glove continues to shine on the defense as he proves his worth everywhere on the field.

Urías’ strong first half quietly solidifying himself as one of the best third basemen in the league deserves to be recognized—and a ticket to Atlanta would do just that.

SS – Gunnar Henderson

With a plethora of awards and recognitions already under his belt, Gunnar Henderson is looking to add another one to his collection—his second consecutive Midsummer Classic start at shortstop. After putting up record numbers in 2024, the former AL Rookie of the Year has continued to produce for the Orioles this year. Since April 26, he ranks among AL shortstops in runs scored (2nd, 20), hits (3rd, 39), homers (T-5th, 5), walks (4th, 14), and extra-base hits (T-5th, 13). Henderson's plate discipline puts him among the best hitters in the majors, as he ranks in the top percentiles in hard-hit rate (96th, 54.8%), bat speed (93rd, 75.3 mph), and max exit velocity (90th, 113.3 mph).

With a swing made for an All-Star, Gunnar Henderson’s offensive and defensive performances should earn him a starting spot at Truist Park on July 15.

OF – Cedric Mullins

The longest-tenured Oriole on the active roster, Cedric Mullins is looking to represent the Orioles in the Midsummer Classic for the second time in his career after starting in the 2021 All-Star Game. Mullins started off the 2025 season red-hot for the Birds, slashing .300/.435/.620 (15-for-50) with four doubles, four home runs, 10 walks, 10 runs, 17 RBI, and three stolen bases through his first 15 games. He leads the team in home runs (10), RBI (31), and web gem worthy plays in the outfield.

The AL is loaded with talented outfielders, but Mullins’ performance in 2025 has earned him a seat at the table.

OF – Ramón Laureano

In a locker room full of young talent, Ramón Laureano’s veteran presence and consistent play has been felt on both sides of the ball. Laureano’s defensive prowess has been well documented throughout his career, but ever since joining the O’s, his offensive abilities have also been on full display. Among Orioles batters with at least 100 plate appearances, Laureano ranks second in OPS (.852) and slugging percentage (.532) while ranking fourth in batting average (.266) and on-base percentage (.320).

Prior to landing on the Injured List on May 24, Laureano was having a phenomenal month of May, slashing .348/.423/.630 (16-for-46) with four doubles, three home runs, nine runs, five RBI, five walks, and one stolen base. Laureano’s strong start on the field and leadership off should be all the reason fans need to vote for him to represent the Orioles in the All-Star Game.

OF – Tyler O’Neill

Tyler O’Neill wasted no time introducing himself to the Baltimore faithful after signing with the team this offseason, homering on Opening Day for an MLB-record sixth consecutive year. O’Neill has done well with runners in scoring position in his 24 games this season, recording an .848 OPS with a triple, a home run, and nine RBI in 17 at-bats. Along with his strong offensive instincts, he has also shown off his elite arm since arriving in Charm City, recording five outfield assists through his 24 games played this season.

Birdland is hoping the two-time Gold Glove winner is nearing a return to the lineup, which could also result in the Canadian slugger receiving an All-Star selection for the first time in his career.
