Bubic was named an All-Star for the second time in his career, after garnering midseason All-Star honors in 2018 with Idaho Falls (Pioneer League). The postseason All-Star honor is one in a recent series of awards, after Bubic was named Carolina League Pitcher of the Week last week and Baseball America noted him as their Royals’ Minor League Player of the Year earlier this week.
