Adam Duvall hit three home runs with the Giants in 2014, his lone season with the team that selected him in the 11th round of the 2010 MLB Draft.
The next season, he was the extra throw in piece to be traded to the Cincinnati Reds in order to acquire starting pitcher Mike Leake. Pitching prospect Keury Mella was the prize that the Reds coveted. Little did they know, the extra piece, Duvall, would be their lone All-Star in this year's Midsummer Classic.
“It’s a tremendous honor just to be named with those guys (on the All-Star team),” Duvall said to reporters after learning he made the National League roster as a reserve for the All-Star Game.
