Rodriguez Rising as All-Star Contender | MLB News

Eduardo Rodriguez is flying under the radar as one of baseball’s most surprising All-Star candidates this season. After overcoming health issues and a rough start, the Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher has transformed into a dominant force, posting a 2.21 ERA over 100 innings in his first 17 starts. Ranked fourth in the National League in ERA among qualified pitchers, he also leads in opponent batting average and innings pitched among elite arms. Manager Torey Lovullo and teammate Geraldo Perdomo have publicly backed him, with Lovullo even casting his vote for Rodriguez. While stats may favor others, Rodriguez’s impact on the Diamondbacks’ rotation and his clubhouse presence make him a standout. With consistent performances and strong support from teammates, he’s poised to earn his spot in the All-Star game — and his teammates believe he deserves it.
