Wheeler Fumes Over All-Star Snub | Philadelphia Phillies News
Description
Zack Wheeler’s furious over missing the All-Star Game despite pitching a 14-K masterpiece—blamed on a rigid rule that bars players scheduled to pitch near the break from participating. A dominant force since returning from surgery with a 9-1 record and elite ERA, Wheeler’s snub stings even more since the All-Star Game is coming to Philly next year. His teammate Kyle Schwarber, who made the team, admits it’s tough to see such a deserving player overlooked. This isn’t new—Cristopher Sánchez faced the same fate last year. Wheeler even offered to pitch just one inning, but the rules stand firm. He’ll be watching from the stands at his home ballpark, a bitter pill to swallow for a pitcher who’s been lights out.
