This is the first time Soto has not participated in the event since his debut in 2019, with the exception of the year 2020, when the mid-season classic was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\nDespite being the highest-paid player in Major League history and maintaining a productive performance, his numbers in the first two months of the season were not enough to secure his inclusion in the selection made by fans, players, and managers.\n\nCurrently, Soto has a batting average of .263, with an OPS of .904. He has hit 21 home runs, driven in 51 runs, and leads Major League Baseball in walks received, with a total of 72. However, these statistics were not enough to convince voters to include him on the National League roster for the &#8220;Midsummer Classic&#8221;.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Sometimes you&#8217;re going to get in (the All-Star team) and sometimes you won&#8217;t. Apparently I didn&#8217;t. I just have to be better.<\/p><cite>Juan Soto<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nAsked about his exclusion, the star outfielder of the New York Mets showed self-criticism and maturely accepted the decision.\n\nSoto acknowledged that his initial performance in the season influenced the final decision, but he didn&#8217;t give much emotional importance to being left out of the event.\n\nWith these statements, Soto demonstrates a work-focused and team-oriented attitude, prioritizing collective performance over individual recognition.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Juan Soto Misses the 2025 All-Star Game: An Analysis of His Absence The 2025 Major League Baseball season has brought a notable surprise: the absence of Dominican outfielder Juan Soto from the All-Star Game.
