The 27-year-old has been one of baseball&#8217;s biggest breakout stars this season, posting a 0.84 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 42.2 innings while allowing a .164 opponents&#8217; batting average.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">-Emerson Hancock (7 GS, 2.59 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 46 K, 41.2 IP) and Rico Garcia (16 G, 6 HLD, 0.61 ERA, 0.34 WHIP, 9.8 K\/9) are the only picks for their respective teams, but they are worthy of All-Star recognition even outside of the one-per-team rule.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">-The Yankees have the best starting pitching ERA in baseball with a 2.74 mark, and the one-two punch of Cam Schlittler (7 GS, 1.51 ERA, 0.74 WHIP, 49 K, 41.2 IP) and Max Fried (8 GS, 2.39 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, 43 K, 52.2 IP) has led the charge.
