Randy Rodríguez was the only San Francisco Giant to receive the highest vote tally among relievers for the MLB All-Star Game, accumulating 143 votes. This was notably lower than other key players, as the relief pitcher vote was particularly fragmented. Throughout the season, Rodríguez has gained more trust from his manager, achieving an impressive 0.71 ERA with 53 strikeouts in 38 innings, despite being a rookie with previous struggles. His selection as an All-Star reflects a significant recognition given the competitive landscape of elite relievers.
Rodríguez received 143 votes, significantly more than Mets closer Edwin Diaz (102), and Padres righty Jason Adam (90), who finished in second and third place, respectively.
Rodríguez received the lowest tally of votes among a top vote-getter at any position. Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte, for example, received 653 votes.
Rodríguez, who signed with the Giants as a teenager back in 2017, was one of the organization's top relief-pitching prospects for several years before making his big-league debut in 2024.
Despite an erratic rookie campaign, Rodríguez flashed his dominant potential, with a 0.71 ERA (1.35 FIP) with 53 strikeouts and just 8 walks in 38 innings pitched.
