How many Pitchers are selected to the MLB All Star Game?

Answer 1

Usually 10 to 12 depending on the manager selecting the team.

Each team consists of 32 players, selected in one of the following ways, listed in order:

Fan voting: Baseball fans vote on the starting position players for the All-Star Game, with ballots distributed at baseball games before mid-season and, more recently, on the Internet. When the game is played at an American League park, the designated hitter for the AL team is also selected in this manner.

Player voting: As of 2005, pitchers and one back-up player for each position are elected by the other players. If the top vote-getter at a certain position is also being voted in via fan voting, then the second-place finisher in this category is chosen for the team.

Manager selection (first): The manager and the Commissioner's Office will fill the roster up to 31 players.

Final vote: After the lists of 31 players for each league is announced, fans will vote for one additional player, chosen from a list of 5 players provided by the manager and the Commissioner's Office.

Manager selection (second): After the final vote, the manager and the Commissioner's Office will replace players who are injured or declined to participate. Each major league team is guaranteed to have at least one player selected to participate, though single players from poor teams are occasionally not used (Detroit's Dmitri Young, in 2003, was the last to be selected and not be put into the game by the manager).

Answer 2

I looked at the rosters for the 2005 All Star Game and it appears that each team had 13 pitchers.

Answer 3

Usually 10-12. However many the manager wants to choose.

Answer 4

All of them are selected. They are not voted in like most of the position players.

Answer 5

It depends on the manager and how he wants to fill out the roster...

Answer 6

All of them, that's why you don't have to vote for them.
