Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz to join Francisco Lindor as All-Stars

Related Topics: Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor

Mets first baseman Pete Alonso and closer Edwin Díaz have been named to the National League All-Star roster, joining Francisco Lindor, who’s set to start at shortstop in the game. And Juan Soto, who’s been one of the best outfielder in the game thus far this year, hasn’t made the team—at least not yet.

Alonso has had a fantastic season thus far, objectively putting up the best stats for a first baseman in the National League despite not having won the starting gig in the second phase of All-Star voting. He’s hit .287/.380/.543 with 20 home runs, 73 RBI, and a 159 WRC+ in 397 plate appearances.
