Odubel Herrera is set to make his first All Star Game this year in San Diego. He’ll be the Phillies’ lone representative and he’s currently 4th among NL center fielders in WAR. But what makes him so fun, is the way he plays the game.
The 24-year-old plays with a ton of energy and fire, he flips his bat for walks, and is generally a spark for the Phillies offense. And this year specifically, watching Herrera has reminded me of another Phillies Rule 5 pick turned All-Star: Shane Victorino.
Victorino played the game with the same energy that Herrera plays and actually put up similar numbers.
