On Sunday, Major League Baseball released the American League and National League rosters for the All-Star Game. The announcement was a enjoyable one for the Atlanta Braves, which led the National League in players selected.
The Braves had four players selected to the 2018 National League All-Star team. First baseman Freddie Freeman and outfielder Nick Markakis made the team via the fan vote, starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz was chosen by the NL coaches, and second baseman Ozzie Albies was selected as a reserve.
Freeman’s selection was the third of his MLB career and his first since 2014.
