MLB All-Star Game 2019: Rosters, AL, NL Lineups and Pitching Breakdown
Managing pitchers for the MLB All-Star Game is a fickle process.
Between the time the rosters are named and the game begins, the pitching staffs of the American and National Leagues change for a variety of reasons.
Injuries and starts on the Sunday before the All-Star Game are the typical causes for the drastic shifts in personnel, which makes life hard on each manager to piece together a game plan.
Typically, the starters for each team go no more than two innings before one-inning stints are handed out to the rest of the pitchers.
More than half of the hurlers scheduled to participate Tuesday are first-time All-Stars, while six pitchers have three or more All-Star appearances on their resumes.
