Five kids and their families were given a $250 gift card to get gear and also met six-time MLB All-Star Prince Fielder and MLB Legend Fergie Jenkins.
ARLINGTON, Texas — Corey Seager is now an all-star. that Seager will replace an injured Carlos Correa in the Midsummer Classic -- would be met with unquestioned applause from Rangers fans. Seager is certainly deserving: Despite a quiet start to the season, the Texas star shortstop has racked up 18 homers and a well-above-average .834 on-base plus slugging percentage.
Coupled with an above-average glove, Smith's offensive numbers have him sitting at 3.7 wins above replacement on the season, good for seventh in the American League. Also, his adjusted on-base percentage of 145 -- a fancy way of saying he's been 45% better than a league-average hitter this year -- is ranked 10th in the AL.Well, the voting process didn't exactly work in Smith's favor.
But fan voting isn't the only way the all-stars get selected. Every team gets at least one all-star representative, so Isaac Paredes was an easy decision for the Tampa Bay Rays. Paredes has 15 homers and a .823 on-base plus slugging percentage, and that's coming off a breakout 2023 season.
