As the first half of the season draws to a close and the All-Star break finally upon us, players take the time to recuperate, while the fans are treated to some fun events: the Home Run Derby on Monday night, and the All-Star Game on Tuesday. The players representing their ball clubs get the recognition for outstanding performances in the first half, and like every year, this has opened some discourse as to who “deserves” to go but on the other side of the coin, the All-Star “break” also forces these deserving players to work even more, running the risk of injury in a game that holds no stakes. And as a result, some players have chosen to withdraw from either the Home Run Derby, the game itself, or both and it’s definitely valid for these players to do so.

With the 25th selection in the 2021 MLB Draft, the Athletics selected SS Max Muncy out of Thousand Oaks High School in Thousand Oaks, California.
While he currently resides in the Greater Los Angeles area and shares a birthday with the Dodgers’ two-time All-Star, this Max Muncy is not related to the 2020 World Series champion. The 6-foot-1, 180-pounder is one of the more high-upside options in a class that is heavy on talented shortstops. Muncy doesn’t have elite contact-hitting skills, and while he’s solid defensively, he may end up at second or third base as a pro. His power potential is too enticing to ignore, though, and made him a high pick in this year’s draft.
