Five departures and 25.2 rounds.
This is the entire recruit of Milwaukee Brewers Jacob MiriorowskiCRO MLB.
However, MLB added the 23 -year -old launched by the flame to the national league list for Tuesday evening all-star game – A polarizing decision that has become one of the best discussion points before this year’s exhibition at Trist Park in Atlanta.
Miriorowski, who has a 4-1 file with an MPM of 2.81 and 33 stick withdrawals, was appointed to replace the alignment of the left-handed of the Chicago Cubs, Matthew Boyd, who launched against the Yankees on Saturday.
“What joke”, Shiadelphia Phillies Shortstop Trae Turner said to athletics The inclusion of Miriorowski. “It’s f – terrible. I mean, it’s terrible, guy.”
Miriorowski, with a quick three -digit ball and an uninhabitable cursor, captivated baseball after the call last month by launching 11 rounds without a safe blow to start his career.
But Miriorowski’s five career games are the least of all time for an All-Star, which prompted a debate on the fact that the launchers tested in combat like the Cristopher Sanchez Phillies (8-2, 2.50 ERA) or Ranger Suarez (7-3, 1.94 ERA) were more deserving.
“Major League Baseball really focuses on the most marketable players,” said Phillies Voltueur Nick Castellanos to The Athletic.
“So, the fact that they can have someone in the game that will mainly blow a round and throw 103, 104 (MPH), they will get more eyeballs on baseball. They will think that it becomes more popular.”
Miriorowski’s controversy is far from being the only intriguing subject before Tuesday’s match.
Here are some of the other All-Star Top game scenarios:
To come
Even for a star match, this year’s starter match is special.
Tarik Skubal of Detroit, which begins for the American League, and Paul Skenes of Pittsburgh, which begins for the NL, both in the eighth or better among the launchers of the MLB in the era, the sticks to the stick, the sleeves and the whip.
The right -hander Skenes should face an AL range drawn by Aaron Judge in hole n ° 3, while the Lefty Skubal will see the hoard of Nl Shohei Ohtani as soon as the door is released.
This is the second consecutive year that second-year Skenes (4-8, 2.01 ERA) will start the game of stars. Skubal (10-3, 2,23 ERA), the prevailing winner of the Al Cy Young Prix, made his first start of stars.
RALEIGH rally
Cal Raleigh de Seattle plays the majority of his matches on the Pacific time, but on Tuesday, an audience in prime time will have the chance to Witness of the history knock known as “Big Dumper”.
The 38 Home Runs of Raleigh by MLB leader were a shy by Barry Bonds record in 2001 for the circuits before a stars break. They were 11 years older than any other receiver hit a break.
The Raleigh, Switch heating, is in a rhythm of 64 circuits, which would break the record of the American League of Aaron Judge of 62 and break the record of Salvador Perez for a receiver of 48.
All-star for the first time, Raleigh begins for the American League and beats fourth, which means that he will catch Skubal and strike behind the judge. If someone arrives on the basis, Raleigh would face Skenes in the first.
Pca mania
Another All-Star for the first time is Pete Crow-Armstrong, the chicago cubs from the middle of a season in small groups.
Crow-Armstrong, 23, has become the fourth faster to reach 25 circuits and 25 stolen bases in one season, requiring only 92 games to do it.
For all his offensive exploits, Crow-Armstrong could be even higher in the central field, where he should start for the NL.
Crow-Armstrong was a choice of first round in 2020 by the food, which exchanged it the following year at Cubs for Javier Baez. In a stroke of serendipity, Baez should start for the AL in the central field, a position that the former inner field player has moved this year.
“I think it’s really cool,” said Crow-Armstrong Stade Yankee said Friday. “I don’t think” the complete loop “is really the term for that, but it’s cool that I will play in front of him, playing the same position as him, when I would never have really thought that it was going to be one thing.”
Clayton celebration
Thanks to a “choice of legend” by Commissioner Rob Manfred, the longtime AS of Los Angeles, Clayton Kershaw, will appear at his 11th All -Star game – and potentially final.
“I didn’t really know it was one thing,” Kershaw said. “At the end of the day, it’s weird but it’s cool, so I’m just going to enjoy it.”
Although Kershaw did not say if he planned to retire after this year, his future has been speculation for several consecutive walks.
Earlier this month, Kershaw became the 20th launcher in MLB history to record 3,000 stick withdrawals. The 37-year-old has a 4-1 sheet with a 3.38 MPM this season, his 18th.
Kershaw was the first player to win a selection of “legend” since Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera in 2022. Pujols retired after this season, while Cabrera played one more after that.
All about ABS
MLB uses the All-Star game this year as another showcase for the Ball-Strike Automated Challenge system (ABS).
The two teams will receive two challenges, which will allow a launcher, a receiver or a striker to challenge a ball or a call for strike. The same format has been used in certain spring training games to mixed results.
“I don’t think I’m going in depth,” said manager Aaron Boone on Friday.
“We are going to solve it, probably as a group, and it will be up to individuals to use it as they see fit,” said Boone, adding laughing: “If they want to challenge one, they will have the freedom to do it, with the pressure of the peers,` `you would be better to be right. ” ”.
The All-Star game becomes before A vote by the MLB competition committee On the advisability of implementing the ABS challenge system in regular season games next year.
