Jacob Misiorowski, a Milwaukee Brewers rookie, expressed surprise at being selected for the National League All-Star team despite having pitched in only five games. He acknowledged the debate regarding whether All-Star spots should go to established players or be open to fan-favorite selections. His impressive stats, including a 100.5 mph fastball and a 2.81 ERA, underscore his talent but have drawn criticism, notably from Trea Turner, who believed other players deserved the honor more. However, teammate Kyle Schwarber defended Misiorowski's selection, acknowledging the honor of being named an All-Star regardless of the number of games played.
"The last five weeks have been insane. I thought the All-Star break would be a chance to sit down and reflect. Now we're here."
"What a joke," Turner told reporters. "When I looked at the numbers, they don’t add up. You have to have a certain amount of innings to be considered an All-Star."
