Why Milwaukee Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski was added to MLB All-Star Game after just 5 starts
Major League Baseball sparked some controversy this past week when it announced Milwaukee Brewers rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski was named an All-Star after just five career major-league starts. Now, there's a reported explanation for why the young standout might appear in the MLB All-Star Game. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, MLB officials 'reached out to about a dozen pitchers' regarding an opening for the National League in the upcoming All-Star Game. All of them reportedly declined the opportunity, which resulted in the league pivoting to the rookie hurler. Read More: Jacob Misiorowski stats (): 4-1 record, 2.81 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, 33-11 K-BB, 12 hits allowed across 25.2 innings pitched Misiorowski, age 23, broke Paul Skenes' record for the fewest career games played in the majors before making the All-Star Game. The selection came just a month after the 6-foot-7 righty made his MLB debut against the St. Louis Cardinals on June 12. The heralded right-handed pitcher has certainly been dominant thus far. He allowed just two earned runs and three hits across his first 16 innings pitched, and he's surrendered two runs or fewer in four of his five major league starts this season. Jacob Misiorowski salary (): $445,374 this season However, many around baseball were upset by his inclusion in the MLB All-Star Game. Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner ripped the decision, telling The Athletic that MLB's choice was 'f—ing terrible,' while teammate Nick Castellanos said the league's decisions with All-Star rosters are turning the Midsummer Classic 'into the Savannah Bananas.' 'That's just how MLB does it now. Nothing against the Misiorowski kid. But [Suarez and Sanchez] are deserving of being on the team in the first place. There's no doubt.' Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto on Jacob Misiorwski being added to the MLB All-Star Game (via The Athletic) The Phillies' players were particularly upset that Misiorowski was added instead of teammates Ranger Suarez (1.94 ERA and 1.05 WHIP) and Cristopher Sanchez (2.50 ERA and 1.14 WHIP). Suarez's success came in 13 starts (83.2 innings pitched) this season, while Sanchez's numbers were compiled over 115 innings. In MLB's defense, it went to Suarez and Sanchez first. Suarez told reporters that he declined an invitation, preferring to take the four days of rest before the final stretch of the season. Sanchez refuted reports that he declined the invite, but it's possible the team refused since he threw 89 pitches in Sunday's win. While there's a strong argument to be made that five starts isn't enough to earn a spot in the MLB All-Star Game, the bigger issue for baseball is the number of pitchers who don't want to be involved. If that continues to be the case, with pitchers opting to preserve their arms for meaningful games, participation and interest in the All-Star Game could decline even more in the coming years.

Dave Roberts Defends Jacob Misiorowski's All-star Selection as an 'easy Answer'
ATLANTA (AP) — National League All-Star manager Dave Roberts said including Milwaukee rookie right-hander Jacob Misiorowski on his team was an easy answer despite complaints from some players over his inclusion after just five big league appearances. 'If it brings excitement and attention to our game, then I'm all about it,' Roberts said before Monday's Home Run Derby. 'I think, for me, kind of my North Star is the All-Star Game should be the game's best players,' the Los Angeles Dodgers manager added before also addressing the other side of the argument by adding, 'It's about the fans and what the fans want to see.' Misiorowski has pitched in only five games–a record low for an All-Star–creating a debate between those who say the game is for the most deserving players and those who say the game is for the fans. The 23-year-old created an instant stir when he threw a 100.5 mph fastball for his first pitch in the big leagues. Oh, and for good measure, he opened that debut on June 12 against St. Louis by throwing five no-hit innings before leaving with cramping in the Brewers' 6-0 win. The 6-foot-7 rookie is 4-1 with a 2.81 ERA and has 33 strikeouts with only 12 hits allowed in 25 2/3 innings. It's an impressive debut, but some players still believe the right-hander hasn't been in the game long enough to merit All-Star consideration over more established players. Philadelphia's Trea Turner was outspoken in his criticism of the decision to add Misiorowski to the team when Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sánchez, who is 8-2 with a 2.50 ERA, didn't make the team. The Phillies also lobbied for left-hander Ranger Suárez (7-3, 1.94). 'What a joke,' Turner told reporters. Misiorowski said Monday he wasn't offended. 'They're not upset with me,' he said, adding he is as surprised as anyone to find himself in Atlanta for Tuesday night's game. 'The last five weeks have been insane,' Misiorowski said. 'I thought the All-Star break would be a chance to sit down and reflect. Now we're here.' Turner's teammate, All-Star Kyle Schwarber, said Monday the attempt by Phillies players to speak up for Sánchez and Suárez was not an attack at Misiorowski by any means. 'It's an honor for him that he's here, and it should be an honor for him. It's not his fault that he's only pitched five games and he got named,' Schwarber said. Schwarber said Misiorowski could be an All-Star every year that he pitches. 'It's just more of the fact of our guys were having some really good years and some pretty good every day starts and numbers. You want them to feel like they're gonna get represented the way that they should be.' Schwarber added that he would likely talk to Misiorowski during All-Star week and would tell him he's doing a great job at what he's doing and he's going to be a perennial All-Star for years to come. Roberts said he plans to bring Misiorowski into the game as early as the fifth inning. 'And it's going to be electric,' Roberts said. 'So the fans, the media–you're going to love it.' Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw, 37, is on his 11th All-Star roster, this time as a legend pick by commissioner Rob Manfred. When asked about the conflicting opinions about Misiorowski, Kershaw said, 'I don't think it's conflicting. I think everybody wants the best players here.' San Francisco right-hander Robbie Ray, 33, said Misiorowski has an electric arm. 'He's a special talent, and I'm excited to watch him pitch.' Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker, who is serving on Roberts' staff and has experience selecting an All-Star roster, said there's room for a player as inexperienced as Misiorowski to find a spot in Tuesday night's showcase. 'You know what? It's an exhibition game,' Snitker said. 'He's another great talent. ... There are some guys that are very deserving. It is what it is.'
