St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Brendan Donovan became the fifth former South Alabama player picked for the Major League Baseball All-Star Game when he was named a National League reserve on Sunday.

The 95th MLB All-Star Game is scheduled for 7 p.m. CDT July 15 at Truist Park in Atlanta. FOX will televise the game.

After the starting lineups for the game were revealed last week, the pitchers and reserves were announced on Sunday.

Donovan is going to the All-Star Game for the first time in his fourth season with the Cardinals. St. Louis selected the former Enterprise High School star in the seventh round of the 2018 draft after his third season at South Alabama.

This season, Donovan has a .296 batting average, .367 on-base average and .431 slugging percentage in 82 games. Among National League hitters, he ranks fifth in batting average and fifth in doubles with 22 in 2025.

A versatile glove in the field, Donovan has played in 65 games at second base, 17 in left field, six at shortstop and two at designated hitter for the Cardinals in 2025.

Former South Alabama outfielder Luis Gonzalez represented the Arizona Diamondbacks at five MLB All-Star games – 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2005.

Three other USA alumni were picked for one MLB All-Star Game apiece – Cardinals third baseman David Freese in 2012, New York Mets outfielder Lance Johnson in 1996 and Chicago Cubs pitcher Jon Lieber in 2001.

Fan voting chose the starting lineups for the MLB All-Star Game. Eight pitchers and one reserve at each of the other nine positions for each league’s team were determined by player votes. The Commissioner’s Office then added six players to complete the rosters, using those selections to ensure that every team had at least one representative.
