Mike Trout, Aaron Judge and Mookie Betts form a dream outfield in the American League. Bryce Harper and Max Scherzer make up a not-so-gracious welcome committee for the NL.

Power in the center of power. A capital-sized All-Star Game.

Baseball unveiled the rosters for its midsummer showcase Sunday night, featuring an imposing American League lineup and Harper starting at his home ballpark in Washington.

Reigning AL MVP Jose Altuve is one of five All-Stars from World Series champion Houston, matching the Red Sox and Indians for most in the majors. The Yankees and Braves each have four, including rookie Gleyber Torres from the Yankees and fellow second baseman Ozzie Albies from the surprising Braves.

“It’s fun. You’re playing, but you’re looking around because you’re playing with all those big boys out there,” said Altuve, who made the AL team for the sixth time.

Torres is on the disabled list because of a hip injury and is unlikely to participate. But while he and Albies are just 21, the list of 25 first-time All-Stars also includes thirty-something surprises like Boston first baseman Mitch Moreland, Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo and Atlanta outfielder Nick Markakis.

“It’s something that I didn’t know it would ever be quite possible,” Moreland said. “I’m definitely excited about the opportunity and appreciative of having that opportunity.”

Trout is working on perhaps the best season of his stellar career. Judge has 25 homers and 58 RBI, and Betts is batting .342 with 22 homers.

But that’s just the beginning for the AL. Altuve led the fan balloting with 4.8 million votes. Baltimore Orioles shortstop Manny Machado will make the short trip down to D.C. for the July 17 game with speculation increasing about his future ahead of the trade deadline.

White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu, Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez, Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez and Rays catcher Wilson Ramos round out the AL’s starting lineup.

“The best part is being with all the guys. You’re on the biggest stage with the best,” said Trout, selected for the seventh straight year – tying Boston ace Chris Sale for longest active streak.

Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel was also selected for the seventh time.

Harper was voted a starter for the fourth straight year. The slugger, who is eligible for free agency after this season, is batting just .218 but has 21 homers and 50 RBI.

He was joined by ace right-hander Scherzer and reliever Sean Doolittle from the Nationals. Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young Award winner, could get the start in his home ballpark.

“That’d be an unbelievable experience,” he said in an interview on ESPN.

Nationals shortstop Trea Turner could join Scherzer and Co. if he wins the online vote for the 32nd and final NL roster spot. Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar, Giants first baseman Brandon Belt, Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter and Dodgers infielder Max Muncy also are in the mix.

The candidates for the last AL spot are Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi, Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario, Mariners shortstop Jean Segura, Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons and Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton.

“It’s something I’ve watched for a long time. To be a part of it would be pretty cool,” Benintendi said.

Markakis and Matt Kemp will join Harper in the NL outfield. Markakis has been a key performer for the Braves and made an All-Star team for the first time in his 13 major league seasons. Kemp’s return to the Los Angeles Dodgers has been a smashing success.

The Chicago Cubs will have two starters after catcher Willson Contreras and second baseman Javier Baez each won a close race at their position in fan balloting. Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman, Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado and Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford round out the NL starting lineup.

“My first reaction was like, ‘I have no words to say,'” Contreras said, “but I started crying when I went down to the cage because I hoped for it and I’ve been working hard every single game that I’ve played and played it like it was my last one.”

As usual, there were some notable snubs – with several changes surely coming because of injuries and withdrawals.

Tampa Bay left-hander Blake Snell, who is 12-4 with a 2.09 ERA, was the most incomprehensible omission. Houston right-hander Charlie Morton and Oakland Athletics infielder Jed Lowrie were also left out despite worthy credentials. The Philadelphia Phillies, percentage points ahead of the Braves for the NL East lead, have only one All-Star in pitcher Aaron Nola.
