Obviously, every MLB All-Star Game is filled with star players. However, the 2026 MLB All-Star Game might feature the greatest collection of pitchers that a league has ever assembled. Nine starting pitchers in the National League have a sub-3.00 ERA entering Tuesday's slate (among pitchers with enough innings to qualify), and that doesn't include the likes of Shohei Ohtani (1.47 ERA), Kyle Harrison (2.50 ERA) and Zack Wheeler (2.11 ERA).
