MLB All-Star Game selection needs work to promote merit over marketing
The fan voting is much improved, but the league selection process needs work. Seiya Suzuki, Michael Busch, Cristopher Sánchez and of course Juan Soto shouldn't be sitting home while MLB invites middle relievers and a just-promoted rookie.

Some veteran players aren't thrilled to see the uber-talented fireballing rookie Jacob Misiorowski make it as a replacement after five MLB starts. Many fans will enjoy The Miz. But merit should rule, not marketing.

MLB can't afford to miss out on Shohei Ohtani vs. Aaron Judge in Home Run Derby
ATLANTA — Major League Baseball will present its annual Home Run Derby on Monday night, and Shohei Ohtani isn't on the list of scheduled participants. Aaron Judge isn't either. A home run contest without baseball's two most famous home-run hitters? What's the point? Ohtani pointed to the contest's physical demands as to why he didn't compete. Judge said he would only consider participating if the event was staged in New York. How unfortunate for baseball, which has the perfect stage to showcase its two most popular players but can't persuade them to perform on it. Here's one potential remedy: Let Ohtani and Judge write the rules. That might not change Judge's position, but it could change Ohtani's. Ohtani has certainly pondered modifications that could be made to the Derby to make him more inclined to participate, some of which he shared at All-Star media day. 'That's not for me to decide,' Ohtani said in Japanese. 'However, personally, I think there could be limits on the number of pitches, the number of swings, and a focus on flight distance.' The commissioner's office should listen. As profitable as baseball is, its cultural relevance in this country is diminishing. The most popular athletes in the United States are football and basketball players. Outside of Ohtani, and maybe Judge, no baseball player transcends his sport. In Ohtani, baseball finally has its long-awaited face of the game, and the sport would be negligent to not maximize his stardom, both domestically and abroad. Cal Raleigh of the Seattle Mariners might be the major league leader in home runs, but he's a nobody as far as the general public is concerned. The same is true of everyone else in the eight-player Derby field — Matt Olson of the Atlanta Braves, James Wood of the Washington Nationals, Junior Caminero of the Tampa Bay Rays, Jazz Chisholm Jr. of the New York Yankees, Byron Buxton of the Minnesota Twins, Oneil Cruz of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Brent Rooker of the Wandering Athletics. By participating in the Derby, Ohtani wouldn't just draw attention to the event. He would also elevate his competitors, giving them chances to introduce themselves to audiences that would otherwise remain ignorant of their existences. If baseball has to reduce the number of swings taken by Derby participants to gain that kind of exposure for its players, it should reduce the number of swings taken by Derby participants. For that matter, if Ohtani says he would participate only if he's allowed to hit soccer balls, let him hit soccer balls. Why not? What would be compromised, the integrity of a barely-watchable made-for-television event? Ohtani's reticence is based on history. When Ohtani made his only Derby appearance in 2021, the format was similar to what it is now. In the first round, Ohtani had three minutes to hit as many homers as possible, as would be the case today. The Derby has since added a 40-pitch limit. Ohtani was eliminated by Juan Soto in the opening round, after which he said with a simile, 'It was more tiring than the regular season.' Ohtani went on to win his first most valuable player award that year, but the Derby marked a turning point in his season. In 84 games before the All-Star break, Ohtani batted .279 with 33 homers and 70 runs batted in. In his 71 games after, he hit just .229 with 13 homers and 71 RBIs. He implied that experience was why he was unlikely to return any time soon. 'With the current rules, it's pretty difficult,' Ohtani said last month, 'so for now, I don't think there's much of a chance.' For baseball, that translates to limited viewership. Viewership for the Derby was at its highest in the first decade of the 2000s. Of the five most-viewed Derbys, only one was staged in the last 15 years: The 2017 Derby, which Judge won as a rookie. Judge has not competed since. The Derby doesn't make the players. The players make the Derby. And if the sport's only superstar is open to taking part, the league should facilitate it.

All-Star Game By The Numbers Reveals Balance Between Leagues
The 95th All-Star Game will be played in Atlanta's Truist Park Tuesday. (Photo by Kevin C. ...) When the 95th All-Star Game is played at Atlanta's Truist Park Tuesday night, the game is virtually certain to underscore the balance between leagues. The American League has won more often, 48 times against 44 for the National League, with two ties. But the AL has scored only eight more runs in the process. This year's game is unpredictable for multiple reasons. There are 30 first-time All-Stars, 15 from each leagues, and 14 players – seven from each circuit – who have been selected in both circuits. Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw, a legacy selection by Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred, leads the group with 11 All-Star selections. The number of international All-Stars is growing, with 365 born out of the United States. The Dominican Republic leads with 117, followed by Venezuela (67), Puerto Rico (50), Cuba (43), Canada (22), Japan (17), and Mexico (16). No other country has reached double digits. Hall of Famer Hank Aaron homered in the 1972 All-Star Game, the first of three played in Atlanta. ... More (Photo by UPI/) The late Hank Aaron, a long-time Atlanta icon who topped the lifetime list in home runs for 33 years, was an All-Star a record 21 years in a row, missing only his first and last years of his 23-year career. Because the leagues played two All-Star games from 1959-62, Aaron was chosen 25 times, another record. Since the game was cancelled in 1945 by wartime travel restrictions, the leagues have played 94 games. The American League won, 5-3, last year, when the game was played at Globe Life Park in Arlington, TX. Next year's game is scheduled for Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was written and ratified in 1776. The game will be part of the historic city's year-long celebration. The choice of Atlanta for this year's game was controversial because it is occurring four years after the game was supposed to be played there. The 2021 game was moved to Denver after Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed legislation Manfred believed restricted voting rights. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has picked defending NL MVP Shohei Ohtani as his leadoff man for ... More Tuesday's All-Star Game. (Photo by) A reporter at Monday's All-Star Media Day press conference asked National League manager Dave Roberts to comment on that decision. Roberts evaded the query, stating that he would not discuss the political decision. He also said he was looking forward to managing and winning the game for the Senior Circuit.
