Sitting here on March 14th before a single inning of regular season ball has been played — exactly four months out from the Midsummer Classic on July 14th — feels like the perfect time to make some bold predictions and dream some big dreams for the 2026 MLB All Star Game.
Let’s start with the regulars.
The 2025 rosters were loaded with every-year locks (like Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, and Freddie Freeman) as well as a handful of first timers (Pete Crow-Armstrong, Cal Raleigh, and Ryan O’Hearn).
-
Are there any surprise players you’re expecting to find their way into the game this year?
-
Any ASG regulars that miss the team?
The Colorado Rockies will have at least one league-required team representative in July. In 2025, that honor went to Hunter Goodman, and it was well-earned. While the Rockies work to get back to a place where they’re sending more than one All Star, that could be a challenge in the near-future with how stacked the NL is and how little love the Rockies’ still-improving roster gets in the fan vote.
-
Will Goodman be a repeat All Star?
-
Will the Rockies be fun enough to send more than one player?
-
Which player(s) do you think will represent the Rockies in 2026?
Finally, outside of the game itself.
It’s been five years since Colorado was represented in the Home Run Derby, last sending Trevor Story in 2021. Maybe things will be different in 2026.
-
Will the Rockies flash enough power in the first half of the season to send someone to the slugfest?
-
Which Rockie might compete?
Look into your crystal ball to the All-Star Break, and give us your bold predictions!
