MLB All-Star Game Shocker: Why Top Stars George Springer, Juan Soto, and Randy Arozarena Were Shockingly Overlooked

RP Jhoan Duran, Minnesota Twins
Let me first assure any Minnesota fan reading this that Joe Ryan is worthy of making my All-Snub team, just as he did a year ago, but for the sake of mixing it up, I’ll go with Duran. Despite the disappointing Twins not giving him a whole lot of save opportunities, Duran has continued to overwhelm opponents with one of the more higher-powered arsenals in the sport. Other than Seattle’s Andres Muñoz, who was selected as an All-Star, no pitcher is as elite as Duran at coaxing both ground balls and whiffs. The occasional bout of wildness aside, he remains on the short list of closers you’d want nailing down an important save.
