The Seattle Mariners were going to have one of its players in Colorado for the All-Star game no matter what, but it was a bit unclear who would be representing the team this season. Until yesterday, fans were cheering on for Mitch Haniger, J.P. Crawford, and Yusei Kikuchi.
After yesterday’s victory over the Texas Rangers, Yusei found out that he was going to make his first All-Star game appearance surrounded by his teammates and coaches.
