Juan Soto was not named to the team.
Mets first baseman Pete Alonso and closer Edwin Díaz have been named to the National League All-Star roster, joining Francisco Lindor, who’s set to start at shortstop in the game. And Juan Soto, who’s been one of the best outfielder in the game thus far this year, hasn’t made the team—at least not yet.
Alonso has had a fantastic season thus far, objectively putting up the best stats for a first baseman in the National League despite not having won the starting gig in the second phase of All-Star voting. He’s hit .287/.380/.543 with 20 home runs, 73 RBI, and a 159 WRC+ in 397 plate appearances.
Díaz appears to be in top form this year, too, after putting up a solid-if-unspectacular stat line last year as he returned from an injury that cost him the entire 2023 season. In 35.0 innings of work this year, he has a 1.80 ERA with a 2.09 FIP.
