Despite the good performances, several did not reach the votes or the statistics to get a ticket to Colorado
Indisputably Freddy peralta He has been the Latin American pitcher with the best season in general, but that was not enough, so that for now, he gets a place among the All Stars who will be in Denver, Colorado on July 13.
However, a couple of Dominican relievers earned a place among those who will be in the Stars game, despite the fact that one of them has not entered the raking, although he remains on the radar waiting his turn.
The ranking values the best performances from the start of the season until Sunday, July 4. ESPN Digital presents the most outstanding Dominican pitchers of this period.
1. Freddy peralta – Milwaukee Brewers
(Previous ranking 1; Top: 1)
To continue being the best pitcher in the ranking (and also the best among Latin Americans), it did not help Freddy Peralta much to earn a position as one of the pitchers who will be in the All-Star Game in Colorado. Should an injury occur, he must be one of the main candidates as the right-hander continues to perform well despite the fact that his last outing was a loss in which he only allowed 3 hits and 2 runs with 7 strikeouts in six innings against the Pirates.
two. Sandy Alcantara – Miami Marlins
(Previous rank 2; Top: 1)
The Marlins starter was able to react after his seventh loss of the season with a good performance against the Atlanta Braves with work of six innings of a dirty career and five hits. The change of speed has been his main weapon giving very good results and he is one of the pitchers who has thrown the most games until the eighth inning.
3. Alex Reyes – St. Louis Cardinals
(Previous rank: 3; Top: 1)
Being the best Dominican reliever and one of the best Dominican pitchers throughout the season earned him an All-Star spot. But not only that, the New Jersey-born remains one of the best closers in all of Major Leagues, staying among the saved game leaders of all majors and has overcome intermittent action and injuries to position himself where he is.
Four. Cristian Javier – Houston Astros
(Previous rank 4; Top: 3)
The Astros team has not received all the ‘love’ it deserves this season, but it does not mean that it has a couple of the best Dominican pitchers today. Javier’s workload has been reduced and his role has varied, but whether used as a starter, opener or setter, the Dominican has responded. The 24-year-old right-hander maintains a ratio of 11 strikeouts for every 9 innings.
5. Framber Valdez – Houston Astros
(Previous rank: 5; Top: 4)
Despite the fact that there is a reliever who pushed hard to take the position of Framber, the constancy makes the left-hander from Palenque stay with the fifth place. Currently the Astros’ rotation has been one of the best and most efficient, and the Dominican has contributed to it. Any slip could spell his exit from the top 5.
On the radar: Slowly Gregory soto He’s been building a solid season, enough that he’s earned an All Star Game pick, so we’ll probably see him in the top 5 soon. Emmanuel Class Y Richard Rodriguez they might have a good case, especially the Cleveland Indians, for a job in Denver, Colorado.
