CLEVELAND, Ohio—While Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara didn’t get the chance to pitch this weekend due to right biceps tendinitis—pushing his scheduled start back to Wednesday in Atlanta—he was still with the team in Cleveland, the site of the 2019 MLB All-Star Game. Alcantara was the Marlins’ lone All-Star that year, coming into the game with a 3.82 ERA.
Of course, Alcantara has reached new heights since that All-Star appearance. He has made yet another All-Star appearance and won the 2022 NL Cy Young Award unanimously. He topped 200 innings pitched and 200 strikeouts in both 2021 and 2022.
