Alejandro Kirk celebrated his selection as an All-Star for the second time, revealed during a team meeting on Sunday, after the Blue Jays' victory over the Angels. The catcher expressed his growing emotional connection to the event, especially now that he will attend with his daughter, born earlier this year. He is currently batting .301, with 7 home runs and 41 RBIs, ranking high among catchers. Manager John Schneider noted Kirk's progress from a rookie to a top player, highlighting his improved offensive skills and work ethic.

Kirk's dedication this season has led to his status as one of the league's best hitters, and he aims to help the Blue Jays maintain their top position in the AL East as he heads to the All-Star Game in Atlanta. His development reflects not just physical improvement but a strong mental approach to hitting, moving away from trying to hit home runs to becoming a complete hitter.
