News broke yesterday evening that Riley Greene would be starting the All Star Game in left field for the American League. Greene was the 2nd most voted outfielder in the American League behind Aaron Judge. After a truly dominant month of June at the plate, it’s safe to say he earned that distinction.
In 2024, Greene had a perfectly typical year for a great player. A 135 wRC+, 4.0 WAR and 24 home runs in only 137 games made him easily the best position player on the Detroit Tigers, and he even earned his first All Star Game selection.
