Ashcraft Earns All-Star Spot | Pittsburgh Pirates News
Description
Braxton Ashcraft, Pittsburgh’s ace this season, is an All-Star after a stunning breakout year—122 strikeouts in 108 innings, a 3.24 ERA, and a key replacement for the Mid-Summer Classic. He’s fourth in NL strikeouts and innings, 11th in ERA, and the Pirates are 12-6 when he pitches. Ashcraft’s consistency—14 of 18 starts with 2 or fewer runs—has anchored a shaky rotation, proving he’s among the league’s elite. His unexpected call-up is a reward for relentless excellence, culminating in a July 14th All-Star Game showdown in Philly.
