When Cedric Mullins arrived at Angels Stadium before Sunday’s matinee series finale, the team convened a meeting to make official what has been obvious for weeks: he is an All-Star.
Mullins will be the team’s representative in the July 13 MLB All-Star Game at Coors Field in Denver, completing a career resurrection that began two years ago when he was demoted to Double-A Bowie as part of a disastrous 2019 season.
“It’s exciting,” Mullins said. “It’s an honor that I have this opportunity. I’m excited to go out there.”
The Orioles’ star center fielder advanced to the second phase of All-Star voting after finishing in the top nine among outfielders but did not place in the top three of the final round of voting, meaning he was initially left out of a starting spot.
