The selection process for Major League Baseball's All-Star Game is criticized for being flawed, where fan votes often reflect popularity instead of merit. Players selected as reserves can also miss the mark, contributing to the controversy. A specific rule requiring representation from each team complicates selections, resulting in notable snubs. Juan Soto, the New York Mets' star right fielder, was excluded from the National League's roster despite an impressive performance, overshadowed by Ronald Acuna Jr.'s fan-favored selection, which raises questions about the criteria used for choosing deserving players.
