Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles will appear at the 2025 MLB All-Star Celebrity Softball Game, MLB.com announced. Slated for Saturday, July 12, the event benefits the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and runs in conjunction with MLB All-Star Week.
The MLB states that the event “brings together top names in sports and entertainment for a fun-filled, five-inning exhibition.
Chiles is the third gymnast to ‘make the team’ in the 24-year-long tradition, joining Olympic teammate Simone Biles and 2008 Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson.
In 2019, Biles and ‘Team World’ defeated ‘Team Cleveland’ with a final score of 21-16. Johnson and the “American League” were also victorious in 2009. This Saturday, Chiles and her team look to keep the undefeated streak alive.
Chiles is also one of three Olympians to make the 2025 roster.
The two-time Olympic medalist is joined by USA Softball Olympic gold medalists Jennie Finch and Natasha Watley. Finch has become a staple at the event, with 2025’s rendition marking her 15th appearance.
