Iván Herrera Makes MLB All-Star Debut | St. Louis News

Iván Herrera, the 26-year-old catcher/DH for the St. Louis Cardinals, is headed to his first MLB All-Star Game, stepping in for Shohei Ohtani after the Japanese superstar had to withdraw due to knee irritation. Herrera’s strong season — hitting .249 with 11 homers and 40 RBIs, plus a solid .780 OPS — earned him this well-deserved honor, marking a major milestone since his 2016 international signing and 2022 MLB debut. He joins fellow Cardinals Jordan Walker and Riley O’Brien on the All-Star roster, highlighting the rising talent in St. Louis as Herrera prepares to represent the team in Philadelphia’s Midsummer Classic.
