The pitcher at the center of the controversy is the Milwaukee Brewers 'Young Gun Fireballer'Jacob Mizerauski. MLB announced on the 13th (Korea time) that it had selected Mizerauski instead of Matthew Boyd, the left-hander of the Chicago Cubs, who was included in the existing All-Star list.
Boyd started against the New York Yankees on the 13th and announced that he could not play in the 95th All-Star Game at Truist Park in Atlanta on the 16th. The replacement is Miserrowski. Boyd lowered his ERA to 2.34 by winning 10 games this season with four hits and six strikeouts in eight innings against the Yankees. He is considered a candidate for the NL Cy Young Award.
There are complaints among Major League players because they selected a pitcher instead of a pitcher like that. In particular, Philadelphia Phillies players are strongly opposed. This is because his team's pitchers Christopher Sanchez and Ranger Suarez were excluded.

Catcher JT Realmuto is a good example of how MLB does things now. There is absolutely no ill will towards Miserrowski. However, Sanchez and Suarez had to be chosen first. There is no doubt about it."
However, Sanchez and Suarez refused after receiving an offer from MLB to play in the All-Star Game. Both players said they would like to take a break rather than play in the All-Star Game. Then Miserrowski was selected as a substitute. There are no procedural defects at all.
The person who selected Mizerowski was manager Dave Roberts of the Los Angeles Dodgers, the NL head coach, who was recommended by Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy. Murphy said "Fans want to see Miserrowski throw. He is a rising new pitcher in the major leagues. Not being eligible has nothing to do with this controversy. (It was not his fault that he was selected.) He explained the background.
Roberts said "It's not an immediate decision. He can't turn down the offer to play in the All-Star game. He also defended Mizurauski.

In addition, although Mizurauski has only played in five games, it is no exaggeration to say that his pitching and skills are top-class. Throwing 25 ⅔ innings, he allowed 11 walks and 33 strikeouts. He is 4-1 with a 2.81 ERA.
He is overwhelming big league hitters with fast balls up to 102.4 miles and an average of 99.3 miles and sliders in the late 90s as his main weapons. On June 13, when he made his debut, he no-hitter in five innings against the St. Louis Cardinals, and then in the next game, against the Minnesota Twins, he no-hitter continued until the sixth inning. In other words, he stopped the first 11 innings of his debut with a no-hitter.
In the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on the 9th, he struck out 12 in six innings.
Last year's NL Rookie of the Year Pittsburgh Pirates Paul Skins also threw only 11 games when he was named an All-Star last year. In addition, he took the mound as an NL starter. The atmosphere was similar last year. Fans wanted Skins, and MLB responded.
If you have to compare last year's Skins with this year's Mizerauski, it's actually hard to tell the difference between superiority and inferiority. Skins pitched 27 innings in his first five games since his debut last year, striking out 38 and marking a 3.00 ERA. The All-Star Game is a stage where players that fans want to see compete.
