BALTIMORE (AP) Jonathan Schoop will be making his first trip to the All-Star Game as the Baltimore Orioles’ lone representative.
Schoop is batting .293, has a team-best 51 RBIs and is tied with Manny Machado for the team lead with 16 home runs. Now in his fourth full season, the 25-year-old second baseman was delighted to be headed to Miami to play a reserve role for the AL Stars on July 11.
”It means a lot for me and for my family,” Schoop said Sunday.
He learned of his selection from manager Buck Showalter and third base coach Bobby Dickerson.
