- Andrew Abbott expressed confidence in his selection, saying he believed he earned the honor initially, while Reds manager Terry Francona described the news as "actually wonderful" following the team's defeat to Miami.
- Abbott’s selection highlights the depth of NL pitching talent and underscores that despite deserving candidates like Juan Soto missing the game, each season includes notable All-Star snubs.
