Jacob deGrom might be the best pitcher in baseball, but fans shouldn't get their hopes up about seeing the New York Mets ace in the 2021 MLB All-Star Game.

DeGrom told reporters that receiving his fourth ASG nod is a "huge honor" but doesn't "think it's smart to go pitch in the All-Star Game."

The Midsummer Classic is scheduled for July 13 at Coors Field in Denver, with deGrom expected to take the mound July 11 against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
