Vladimir Guerrero Jr. arrived at Truist Field for his fifth All-Star Game under vastly different circumstances than No. 4 a year ago, his long-term future now settled and his Toronto Blue Jays atop, rather than buried at the bottom, of the American League East.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr makes MLB history ahead of the 2025 MLB All-star Game
Vladimir Guerrero Jr and Vladimir Guerrero Sr became the first father son duo in MLB history to be named to the All-Star game five times.
A Star. Just like Vlad 💙⭐️ #AllStarGame
Vladdy and Aaron Judge decided to have a friendly home run derby in batting practice!!! They ended up tied 🤝
Guerrero Jr is relishing his latest all-star experience, giving him a chance to «only think about having fun and trying to enjoy this.
"When you go home you've got to be prepared to stay in the first place, and that's hard. I feel very, very good (about) how we've been playing as of now and I hope we continue like that in the second half.»
Vlad Jr is batting .277/.384/.434 with 12 homers and 46 RBIs, he hasn't yet gone air-ship-carrier mode the way he can and hasn't tried to force it, walking 56 times for a 13.5 per cent rate that's the highest of his career.
For context, he had 52 walks at the break during his MVP runner-up season of 2021 and walked only 58 times in all of 2022, 67 times in 2023 and 72 times last year, demonstrating just how careful pitchers are being with him.
Blue Jays fans are looking forward to Guerrero Jr having a monster second half.
