Brewers Fans Weigh In: Who Should Join Misiorowski at the All-Star Game?

The excitement is building as the All-Star Game approaches, and Brewers fans have the opportunity to weigh in on which players they want to see join ace Jacob Misiorowski in Philadelphia. Misiorowski’s selection appears almost certain, but the spotlight now turns to the remaining roster spots and the talented players vying for them.

Among the contenders are starting pitcher Kyle Harrison, outfielder Jackson Chourio, second baseman Brice Turang, first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers, and catcher William Contreras. Harrison, just 24 years old, is enjoying a breakout season, having pitched 65 2/3 innings over 13 starts with an impressive 2.47 ERA and 80 strikeouts, despite a challenging outing against the A’s where he allowed eight runs in just 2 1/3 innings.

Chourio, 22, has been a revelation since returning from injury, boasting a .322 batting average with nine home runs and 26 RBIs over 35 games. His recent performance earned him the NL Player of the Week honor, highlighted by five homers and consistent contributions in each of Milwaukee’s last six games.

Turang, 26, started the season strong but has faced some challenges recently. Nevertheless, he maintains a solid .261 average with 10 homers and 42 RBIs across 65 games, showcasing both his offensive prowess and defensive skills. Coming off a 14th place finish in last year’s MVP voting, many fans believe it’s time for him to earn his first All-Star nod.

Then there’s Bauers, 30, who is enjoying a breakout year with a 1.7 bWAR over 60 games. His .276 average, 13 home runs, and 46 RBIs reflect his significant contributions to the team’s success, particularly as he shares the outfield with the in-form Andrew Vaughn.

Contreras, 28, has been a stabilizing force for the young Brewers, hitting .295 with 43 RBIs while leading the league in ABS challenges as a catcher. His leadership and performance have not gone unnoticed, further solidifying his case for an All-Star selection.

With MLB’s recent voting update, fans are reminded that while pitchers like Misiorowski and Harrison cannot be voted in, the position players are still in the running. As the All-Star Game approaches, fans are eager to see who will join Misiorowski on the field. Share your thoughts on which Brewer deserves the honor and stay tuned for the results of this exciting survey!
