Andrew Kittredge named 2021 All-Star

Andrew Kittredge is now an American League All-Star for 2021.

A pioneer of the Opener, Kittredge has quietly put up a tremendous season for the Tampa Bay Rays as he has produced a 1.47 ERA with a 26.2 K% over 43 innings pitched. Opponents are hitting just .173 off of him this season, which ranks 11th among all pitchers with at least 40 innings pitched.

During the 2020 season, Kittredge suffered a tear in his elbow, but chose to rehab the injury instead of undergoing Tommy John surgery. The Rays re-signed Kittredge following the season and after an impressive showing in Spring Training was named to the Opening Day roster.
