Aroldis Chapman named to 4th All Star Game

Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman was named to the National League All Star team on Monday night, joining Todd Frazier as representatives from the team that's hosting this year's contest.

This is the 4th time Chapman has been named to an All Star squad, as he's made each team since the 2011 season. The Reds closer has a 15.5 K/9 through 35.1 IP in 2015, and sports a 1.78 ERA with 16 saves.

Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips, and ace Johnny Cueto had all been considered candidates to make this year's squad as well, yet neither position player was chosen by the players or managers to make the team.
