The Philadelphia Phillies had Kyle Schwarber and Zack Wheeler named to the All-Star Game. Wheeler dropped out of the game, but there were some other Phillies who had a case to make the game.

New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge was second with 34 and phenom Shohei Ohtani had 31 before Schwarber joined them. 1998 was led by Mark McGwire, who hit 37 home runs. He finished that year with 70 and an insane slugging percentage over .

The Phillies aren’t happy with Jacob Misiorowski’s controversial All-Star Game selection . The Brewers’ hard-throwing rookie was chosen as a replacement for Matthew Boyd after just five starts and 25 2/3 innings, breaking the 2024 record set by Pirates ace Paul Skenes of 11 games.
