The 2025 MLB All-Star Game delivered high drama and historic firsts, as the National League clinched victory in the first-ever swing-off tiebreaker—an intense mini Home Run Derby that brought fans to their feet. Kyle Schwarber emerged as the MVP after smashing three straight homers to seal the win, while Cal Raleigh’s heartwarming Home Run Derby triumph, with help from his father and brother, became a fan-favorite moment. But not everyone left a winner—controversial swing-off picks by the American League and a razor-thin tiebreaker elimination for Brent Rooker sparked debate. With long bombs, family moments, and a fresh format twist, this year’s All-Star break was anything but ordinary.
