A year ago, the idea of Andy Pages representing the Los Angeles Dodgers at the MLB All-Star Game would’ve seemed far-fetched. Yet here he is, making a serious push to join Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and Will Smith on the National League roster for the 2025 Midsummer Classic.
The 24-year-old outfielder, once unheralded even within his own clubhouse, has emerged as one of the Dodgers’ most valuable players this season. After a sluggish start — hitting just .137 by mid-April — Pages caught fire, raising his average to .292 with a .512 slugging percentage and 16 home runs through 75 games. In doing so, he has surpassed last year’s totals across the board and vaulted into All-Star contention.
“Boy, he’s playing like it right now,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “That’s up to the fans, but he’s playing All-Star baseball.”

MLB.com’s Thomas Harrigan noted that Pages finds himself in one of the league’s tightest All-Star races: In a field this stacked, it was inevitable that some deserving names would be left on the outside looking in. The Padres’ Fernando Tatis Jr. ranks fourth in the NL in fWAR (3.4), tied with Kyle Tucker, but sits eighth in the league’s outfield voting. The Nationals’ James Wood (3.3 fWAR) is ninth. Neither has a realistic path to advance. Meanwhile, the unheralded Pages is trying to bump either Juan Soto or Corbin Carroll (who is headed to the IL with a wrist fracture) from the top six.
Pages currently ranks seventh among NL outfielders in voting, just behind Arizona’s Corbin Carroll — who was recently sidelined with a wrist fracture. The injury could open the door for Pages to crack the top six and secure his first All-Star appearance.
Statistically, he stacks up with the game’s best. Among qualified NL outfielders, Pages ranks tied for first in batting average (.293), third in RBIs (51), and fourth in home runs (15). He’s also top six in slugging (.509) and OPS (.841).
With a resume like that and a timely opening in the outfield voting, Andy Pages may soon complete his unlikely rise — from overlooked youngster to All-Star mainstay.
