Arozarena Stands Alone: Mariners' Sole All-Star Pick
5 Jul
Summary
- Randy Arozarena is the only Mariners player selected for the 2026 All-Star Game.
- This marks Arozarena's third career All-Star selection and second with the Mariners.
- No other Mariners players, including Julio Rodríguez and Cal Raleigh, made the team.
Randy Arozarena has been named the sole representative for the Mariners in the 2026 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. This selection marks his third career All-Star appearance and his second with the Mariners organization. Despite a frustrating and injury-plagued season for the team, Arozarena's performance earned him this honor.
He was not a fan favorite for the starting lineup but ranks highly among American League outfielders in several advanced metrics. Arozarena attributes his success to a refined approach, focusing on hitting to all fields and working closely with hitting coaches, a change from his previous goal of only hitting home runs.
Notably, other key Mariners players like Julio Rodríguez and Cal Raleigh were not selected. Pitcher Bryan Woo was also a potential candidate but likely hindered by his ERA and home-road splits. The All-Star Game is scheduled for July 14 in Philadelphia.
