Atlanta Braves' first baseman Matt Olson reflects on an emotional 2025 MLB All-Star nod to play in his hometown at Truist Park.

Three Braves — Ronald Acuña Jr., Matt Olson, and Chris Sale — were named to the 2024 MLB All-Star roster. Chris Sale was selected but will not pitch due to a rib injury sustained last month. Matt Olson called it a "full circle moment" to play his first All-Star Game in his hometown of Atlanta.

Olson is a two-time All-Star in his career. He made it with the Oakland Athletics in 2021 and once with the Braves in 2023. With the way the reserves are selected, even if Olson isn't selected Sunday, there is a solid chance he can get a nod.
