MLB All-Star Rosters Voting Results 2023: Full Selections, Starters, Snubs and Voting
Major League Baseball announced the remaining selections for this year's All-Star Game on Sunday evening.
The American League pitchers are as follows:
Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Angels), Gerrit Cole (New York Yankees), Luis Castillo (Seattle Mariners), Sonny Gray (Minnesota Twins), Nathan Eovaldi (Texas Rangers), Kevin Gausman (Toronto Blue Jays), Shane McClanahan (Tampa Bay Rays), Framber Valdez (Houston Astros), Michael Lorenzen (Detroit Tigers), Kenley Jansen (Boston Red Sox), Emmanuel Clase (Cleveland Guardians), Félix Bautista (Baltimore Orioles) and Yennier Cano (Baltimore Orioles).
Meanwhile, the AL reserves will be:
Salvador Perez (Kansas City Royals), Adley Rutschman (Baltimore Orioles), Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (Toronto Blue Jays), Whit Merrifield (Toronto Blue Jays), Bo Bichette (Toronto Blue Jays), José Ramírez (Cleveland Guardians), Brent Rooker (Oakland Athletics), Yordan Alvarez (Houston Astros), Adolis Garcia (Texas Rangers), Austin Hays (Baltimore Orioles) and Luis Robert Jr. (Chicago White Sox).
A few players felt like major snubs in the American League. Wander Franco (.286 with nine homers, 41 RBI, 46 runs, 26 stolen bases, .810 OPS) being bypassed was maybe the biggest surprise. And Josh Naylor (.295 with 10 homers, 58 RBI, 30 runs, .808 OPS) arguably was more deserving than Guerrero, though the Blue Jays slugger brings plenty of name recognition.
Over to the National League, where the pitching staff is as follows:
Zac Gallen (Arizona Diamondbacks), Spencer Strider (Atlanta Braves), Bryce Elder (Atlanta Braves), Justin Steele (Chicago Cubs), Mitch Keller (Pittsburgh Pirates), Josiah Gray (Washington Nationals), Clayton Kershaw (Los Angeles Dodgers), Marcus Stroman (Chicago Cubs), Alexis Díaz (Cincinnati Reds), Josh Hader (San Diego Padres), Devin Williams (Milwaukee Brewers) and Camilo Doval (San Francisco Giants).
And here are the NL reserves:
Matt Olson (Atlanta Braves), Ozzie Albies (Atlanta Braves), Austin Riley (Atlanta Braves), Dansby Swanson (Chicago Cubs), Pete Alonso (New York Mets), Will Smith (Los Angeles Dodgers), Elias Díaz (Colorado Rockies), Jorge Soler (Miami Marlins), Nick Castellanos (Philadelphia Phillies), Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (Arizona Diamondbacks) and Juan Soto (San Diego Padres).
In the National League, Fernando Tatis Jr. (.277, 15 homers, 40 RBI, 45 runs, .854 OPS) felt like the biggest snub.
