All-Star Game storylines

History has already been made before the first pitch has even been thrown. Torey Lovullo announced that his starting pitcher for the NL squad will be Paul Skenes. The rookie pitcher on the Pittsburgh Pirates has been dominant since making his debut. He only has 11 career starts to his name, but he has already proven himself to be one of the biggest stars in the sport.
The first overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft has a 1.90 ERA, and he will become only the fourth rookie pitcher to start an All-Star Game ever. Additionally, Skenes' 11 big league starts are the fewest for an All-Star starter in MLB history.
Skenes will be dueling against Corbin Burnes. The Orioles ace was a big offseason acquisition for Baltimore, and he has proven he was worth the cost to trade for. Baltimore is more known for their offense than their pitching, but Burnes has been monumental in helping the Orioles take the next step.
Baltimore's young offensive talent is what excites fans, though. Baltimore entered All-Star Week with the third-best record in MLB, and they were rewarded with five total All-Star spots. In addition to Burnes, former top prospects who have since graduated, like Adley Rutschman, Gunnar Henderson, and Jordan Westburg, will be playing in the All-Star Game, as will slugging veteran Anthony Santander.
The Phillies will be the team with the most All-Stars, though, and it makes sense, considering their 62 wins are the most in baseball. Eight Philadelphia players were elected All-Stars, including Bryce Harper, one of the faces of MLB.
Overall, 75 players were named All-Stars this year. Not all of those players will play in the game. Notably, Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, Tyler Glasnow, and Kyle Tucker will miss the game. Still, the All-Star Game is must-watch, as the best ball players in the world gather together to demonstrate their skills. In addition to the All-Star Game itself, MLB All-Star Week will be highlighted by the Home Run Derby.
