The NALB All-Star Game was played on July 12, 2022. For League 1, the Brooklyn Knights had the top vote-getters in six out of eleven positions. They led all teams with eight players named to the All-Star squad. Vancouver led League 2 with six players named to the All-Star team.

The League 2 All-Stars reigned supreme with a 4-3 triumph over the League 1 All-Stars. League 2 right fielder Aramis Jaquez led the way for the winning club, putting up a 3-for-3 mark to earn game MVP honors. It was an exciting game tied 2-2 heading into the ninth inning. Jaquez homered in the top of the ninth inning but the League 1 All-Stars tied it to force extra innings. In the 11th inning, Jaquez hit another home run. That ended up as the game winner.
