Braves News: All-Star selections, Ha-Seong Kim to the IL, more
· Yahoo Sports
Well the All-Star game selections were announced Saturday night and while these haven’t exactly been meritocratic, there were some funny ones (Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with a 97 wRC+, for example). It’s a shame that Dylan Lee didn’t make the team, though there may be time yet as a replacement. Dylan is 6th in all of baseball in relief pitcher fWAR at a whopping 1.5 over 38.1 innings. While he’s received some favorable HR/FB luck, he has been absolutely outstanding this season as one of very few high end relievers the Braves have developed out of their farm system in the last decade.
