In what was quite a shocking turn of events, superstar New York Mets slugger Juan Soto was not selected for the National League All-Star team this year despite boasting a tenth-best OPS (0.908), fourth-best tally of runs scored (66), and tenth-best home run total (21).
By his standards, the outfielder has had somewhat of a down year so far, but it's safe to say he is still All-Star-caliber (and thank god for the Mets, considering Soto agreed to a $765 million contract in December). But sadly, for reasons outside of his control, he didn't get the nod (at least initially; a replacement nomination is always an option).
