MINNEAPOLIS -- A's catcher Stephen Vogt has been named an American League All-Star for a second consecutive season.
Vogt was announced as a reserve to manager Ned Yost's AL club on Tuesday in anticipation of next week's Midsummer Classic at Petco Park in San Diego.
"I'm obviously honored and blown away and excited," Vogt said. "Definitely surprised. Growing up, I never thought I'd be an All-Star, let alone two years in a row. It's just a really, really cool feeling for my family and I."
Vogt has enjoyed a career renaissance since joining Oakland in 2013.
