Raisel Iglesias of the Atlanta Braves boasts a 0.86 ERA with 13 saves in 20 appearances. Despite a strong performance this season, there are concerns that he could be overlooked for the All-Star game, primarily due to competition from teammates and other closers like Riley O’Brien of the Cardinals. Iglesias has never been selected for an All-Star game in his 12 MLB seasons, despite several years with over 30 saves. Analysts suggest his exclusion may stem from both limited usage and a crowded field of deserving candidates.
