For the third straight year, Corbin Burnes is an All-Star (even if it took a little more time to earn the spot). He was officially named to the team yesterday afternoon, replacing Spencer Strider on the roster. Burnes was one of four pitchers added to the NL roster to replace pitchers that will not pitch in the game.
Though it has been a down year by Burnes’ standards, he’s still been leading the rotation for the Brewers. He has a 3.94 ERA and 4.28 FIP this season, leads the team in innings pitched with 107 1⁄3 and games started at 18, and is second on the team in strikeouts with 102.
