The 2025 MLB All-Star Game in Atlanta is set to feature Milwaukee Brewers' rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski, a choice that has drawn criticism from Philadelphia Phillies players. Despite only five starts in his career, Misiorowski's electric performance has caught the attention of fans and MLB alike, leading to his selection over more seasoned players like Cristopher Sánchez and Ranger Suárez, both of whom declined an invitation to pitch in the All-Star Game.

Phillies players, including J.T. Realmuto and Trea Turner, voiced concerns that Misiorowski's selection is based more on social media buzz than merit, arguing that Sánchez and Suárez should have been recognized for their strong first halves. The debate raises important questions about the All-Star selection process and whether it should prioritize performance or popularity.
