MLB All-Star Game Shocker: Why Top Stars George Springer, Juan Soto, and Randy Arozarena Were Shockingly Overlooked
OF Randy Arozarena, Seattle Mariners
Let’s be clear: Julio RodrÃguez, with his outstanding defense in center field and impact on the basepaths, is still a very good baseball player, even if his offensive output has waned to a borderline stunning degree this year. But the notion that RodrÃguez belongs on the All-Star team over his outfield mate Arozarena is a stretch to say the least. Arozarena might not have made quite the impact Seattle was hoping for when the team acquired him at last summer’s deadline, but his dynamic presence is clearly being felt in his first full year as a Mariner. Ever the showman, Arozarena launched his 14th homer of the season on Sunday, not long after he was left off the All-Star squad. It was his sixth in his past seven games and the lone run in Seattle’s 1-0 victory over Pittsburgh. This dude oozes star power and belongs in Atlanta.
