MLB All-Star Game Shocker: Why Top Stars George Springer, Juan Soto, and Randy Arozarena Were Shockingly Overlooked
But let’s be real: There’s always one or two or 10 names notably absent from the All-Star rosters, and fans react even more strongly to those than they do the players who actually get invited. It’s one thing when deserving players are unable to break through and claim a starting spot, which are determined by fan voting, but the reserves and pitchers on the All-Star Game rosters are determined by a combination of ballots from major-league players and the discretion of the league office, with roughly 75% of the roster additions based on player ballots. So when players who have been thriving over the season’s first three months go uninvited, fan bases are quick to point it out.
