The Los Angeles Angels Shohei Ohtani, who was both the starting pitcher and the starting designated hitter for the American League in the All-Star Game, said he was trying to let it rip on the mound because he knew he was throwing only one inning on Tuesday night.
His fastball topped out at 100.2 mph, the first time he hit triple digits in a game since his first start of the season, April 4 against the Chicago White Sox.
Ohtani finished the All-Star Game 0-for-2 at the plate and with one scoreless inning on the mound. He gave up no hits, no walks and did not strike out a batter. He was followed on the mound by the White Sox s Lance Lynn, who pitched one scoreless inning.
While the results of the first Starters Election format already were revealed earlier in the week, the reserves and pitchers for the July 13 game at Colorado’s Coors Field were unveiled live on ESPN on Sunday evening. There were 47 additional spots to fill 24 in the NL and 23 in the AL with 33 of those selections made via the player ballot and the rest by the Commissioner’s Office.
While there is no more Final Vote as of the 2019 All-Star Game, rosters still can change between now and July 13, if players drop out due to injury or other factors. Any replacements will be added here when they are announced.
