Baltimore Orioles fans were disheartened to learn that no players advanced to Phase 2 of American League All-Star voting. Adley Rutschman, despite his strong performance as a catcher, lost out to Toronto's Alejandro Kirk, who had limited playing time. Other notable snubs include first baseman Pete Alonso and designated hitter Samuel Basallo. Each had impressive seasons but fell short of voter support. The Orioles still hope that Rutschman, Alonso, or Basallo could be selected as reserves in the upcoming All-Star Game.
