SANFORD, Fla.- The Florida Collegiate Summer League is pleased to announce the players that will be competing in the 2025 Florida League All-Star Game. 

All-Stars were selected using a combination of the fan vote, as well as ballots cast by league head coaches, broadcasters, scorekeepers, and league officials. The All-Star Game will match up players from the East (DeLand, Sanford and Orlando) against players from the West (Leesburg, Winter Garden, and Winter Park). The East will be managed by Jesse Litsch (Sanford River Rats, 1st place) and the West will be managed by Rich Billings (Leesburg Lightning, 2nd place). 

The All-Star Game will take place on Tuesday, July 8th at Sanford Memorial Stadium. The 2025 Florida League Home Run Derby will lead the festivities at 6 p.m. Participants in this season's Home Run Derby will be announced in the coming days. 

Any players who are unable to participate will be replaced by alternate selections. Those in consideration as alternates are listed below, with alternates added to the ASG roster to be announced by the league.

The Sanford River Rats lead all teams with 11 All-Star selections, with a twelfth selection on the roster but currently inactive.
