The New York Mets will have just one representative at the 2017 All-Star Game on Tuesday night at Marlins Park in Miami: outfielder Michael Conforto, who is one of 23 first-time All-Stars at this year’s Midsummer Classic.
Conforto, at 24 years and 4 months old, would become the sixth-youngest Mets position player to appear in his first All-Star game. The only ones who were younger:
• Darry Strawberry, 1984 (22 years, 4 months)
• Ron Hunt, 1964 (23 years, 4 months)
• David Wright, 2006 (23 years, 6 months)
• Jose Reyes, 2007 (24 years, 1 month)
• Lee Mazzilli, 1979 (24 years, 3 months)
Ed Kranepool, at age 20 and 7 months, was selected for the 1965 NL All-Star team, but did not play in the game.
