The MLB All-Star Game is the perfect showcase for fans to see all the game’s best players on the same field. But fans aren’t the only ones who get excited at the chance to watch the biggest stars come together—the players get to geek out, too.
And who’s the player that other All-Stars are most excited to see? That would be Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani.
At least, that’s the case for A’s designated hitter Brent Rooker, who was named to the American League All-Star team for the first time in his career. The 28-year-old had a .200 career batting average in 81 games before breaking out this season, posting an .816 OPS with 14 homers in 72 games entering Monday.
