Major League Baseball revealed 2021 All-Star reserves and pitchers on Sunday.
2021 MLB All-star weekend will be held at Coors Field, the home of Colorado Rockies between July 9th to 13th. On Thursday, July 1st, MLB revealed all-star starters for American League and National League.
With Sunday’s revelation, LA Angels Shohei Ohtani made history by becoming the first player selected as an All-Star as both a position player and a pitcher.
It was another impressive feat from Ohtani, who was elected as the starting designated hitter by the fans for the All-Star Game, while also being voted by the players as one of five starting pitchers to make the American League roster. He’s also set to participate in the Home Run Derby on July 12 and the Angels are open to him both hitting and pitching in the game on July 13.
“It’s my first time, so I just want to enjoy everything,” Ohtani told Japanese media postgame. “There’s also the Home Run Derby. So I’m looking forward to taking it all in and enjoying everything.”
