Roberts, Murphy Defend Misiorowski ‘S Selection to NL All-Stat Roster

UNITED STATES, JUL 12 – Jacob Misiorowski earned a 2025 MLB All-Star nod after five starts, sparking debate as Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez missed out due to scheduling despite superior stats and a 2.59 ERA.

  • Milwaukee Brewers rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski was added to the National League All-Star roster for the game Tuesday in Atlanta, drawing mixed reactions.
  • The selection caused debate due to Misiorowski's limited five major league starts despite his 4-1 record and 2.81 ERA at age 23.
  • Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he had no role in the selection but supports it because ‘‘The All-Star game is about the fans’’ and entertainment value.
  • Brewers manager Pat Murphy compared Misiorowski to former Tigers pitcher Mark Fidrych, saying ‘‘People want to see Miz pitch’’ due to his exciting velocity.
  • The move highlights a focus on fan interest and entertainment in All-Star selections, though some players and fans expressed frustration over overlooking others with better stats.
