Which Mariners will be 2025 All-Stars? A look at 6 players’ chances

The Seattle Mariners have had multiple All-Stars the past three seasons, and it looks as if that could be the case once again this year.

A number of players have made key contributions in the first-place M’s strong start to the 2025 campaign, but some stand above the rest as potentially All-Star-worthy. Here’s a look at six Mariners who have a case to earn an invitation to the midsummer classic in Atlanta on July 15.

Seattle Mariners All-Star candidates

Cal Raleigh, C

• 2025 stats: .253/.371/.579, 10 doubles, 16 home runs, 33 RBIs, five stolen bases
• All-Star chances: Lock

• Outlook: At this point, the question about Raleigh shouldn’t be “will he make his first All-Star team?” It should be “how much of a landslide will he win the vote by?” The switch-hitting slugger is putting up MVP-candidate numbers early on. He’s tied for the AL lead in home runs and is seventh in RBIs. He’s currently on pace for 53 home runs, which would break Salvador Pérez’s MLB record for catchers of 48. The only AL catcher with somewhat comparable numbers to Raleigh this season is the Angels’ Logan O’Hoppe, but Raleigh’s overall body of work should clearly put him over the top even if O’Hoppe can close the gap.

Andrés Muñoz, RHP

• 2025 stats: 1-0 record, 16 saves, 0.00 ERA, 0.74 WHIP, 21 2/3 innings pitched, 28 strikeouts, .113 opponents’ batting average
• All-Star chances: Near lock

• Outlook: Muñoz seems primed to make his second straight All-Star game. The flamethrowing right-hander has thrown the most innings of any pitcher without an earned run allowed this season, has the second-lowest batting average allowed among pitchers with at least seven innings pitched, and he leads the majors in saves. The only thing keeping Muñoz from being a lock at this point is the fact that just one or two bad outings can greatly alter a reliever’s numbers. But he should be able to survive a bad outing or two if that were to happen.

Bryan Woo, RHP

• 2025 stats: 5-1 record, 2.65 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, 57 2/3 inning pitched, 55 strikeouts, .200 opponents’ batting average
• All-Star chances: Likely

• Outlook: With injuries ravaging the pitching staff, Woo has been the one constant in the Mariners’ rotation. And he’s been very, very good. He’s third in the AL in WHIP, eighth in opponents’ batting average and ninth in ERA. If Woo can continue this pace, he figures to be firmly in the mix to earn his first All-Star nod.

Julio Rodríguez, CF

• 2025 stats: .231/.309/.415, five doubles, two triples, nine home runs, 28 RBIs, five stolen bases
• All-Star chances: There’s a chance

• Outlook: If Rodríguez can continue to put up the type of numbers he has in May (a .270 batting average and .794 OPS), it could be just enough to push him over the top for his third All-Star appearance. He’s second among AL center fielders with five outs above average this year, so his defense should help his case as well. Rodríguez has some ground to make up with Trent Grisham of the Yankees and Byron Buxton of the Twins (who is currently on the concussion injured list), but his name value alone puts him atop the list of replacement candidates if he were to fall short of an initial All-Star nod.

J.P Crawford, SS

• 2025 stats: .262/.386/.366, five doubles, four home runs, 19 RBIs, two stolen bases
• All-Star chances: Seems unlikely

• Outlook: Crawford is having a bounceback season and starting to look more like the 2023 version of himself. His 134 wRC+ is third among qualified AL shortstops, and he also leads the group in on-base percentage. However, he’ll probably need to go on another hot streak akin to the career-best 16-game hitting streak he went on earlier this year to get serious consideration. He plays a position that’s loaded with big names who will likely garner more attention even with lesser numbers (especially if they play in Toronto).

Jorge Polanco, DH

• 2025 stats: .291/.345/.575, six doubles, 10 home runs, 30 RBIs, one stolen base
• All-Star chances: Seems unlikely

• Outlook: Polanco was on an MVP-candidate pace in April, but he’s greatly cooled off during the month of May. His numbers still compare favorably with the rest of the designated hitter field, but he’ll have to compete with names like Boston’s Rafael Devers and the Athletics’ Brent Rooker. It also wouldn’t be surprising if Yankees fans push Ben Rice through in the fan vote.
