The New York Mets are set to showcase their talents at the upcoming 2025 All-Star Game with three selections: Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, and Edwin Diaz. This comes as a surprise to many, as Juan Soto, despite impressive statistics, including a .908 OPS and 21 home runs, was left off the roster. Soto's performance has surged recently, particularly in July, where he's hitting .333. Lindor and Alonso have also had their ups and downs this season, yet both maintain strong overall batting averages and productivity.

Moreover, the Mets hope Soto can replace injured Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr., who is dealing with lower back tightness. Lindor expressed his hope for Soto's inclusion, indicating that he deserves recognition. The Mets recently secured a close win against the Orioles, where Soto excelled, securing three hits and driving in the decisive run in extra innings. This season has seen ups and downs for the Mets' stars, but with the All-Star Game approaching, much attention will be on how they perform.
