One of those is undeniably\u00a0Jackson Holliday, who has taken another step forward despite his team&#8217;s struggles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-[18px] md:mt-0 mb-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The O&#8217;s are committed to building around their young core, which includes infielders like Holliday and Gunnar Henderson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt-[18px] md:mt-0 mb-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Holliday has just a .722 OPS, but nearly made the midsummer classic as part of the fan vote. The players who went to the All-Star Game instead of Holliday \u2013 namely Gleyber Torres and Jazz Chisholm \u2013 didn&#8217;t exactly light it up in Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Holliday is well on his way to a 20-20 season, which in an American League devoid of real talent at second base, could have earned him an All-Star nod as a reserve, at the very least. Instead, Chisholm starred at Truist Park thanks to a first half hot streak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">He&#8217;s a far better baserunner than Holliday, as well, and a better name brand at this point in his career. It made sense.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Did Jackson Holliday deserve to make the All-Star Game over Jazz Chisholm?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Unfortunately for Chisholm, baseball fans are second-guessing whether he should&#8217;ve been named an All-Star to begin with.\u00a0In the Home Run Derby\u00a0\u2013 which Chisholm inexplicably took part in \u2013 he hit just three home runs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Chisholm later blamed his fellow competitors for his own embarrassing display, suggesting that they changed their swings for the event. That is&#8230;technically how this works, no? When you swing for the fences on any given pitch, it\u00a0requires a different approach.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">This is not to suggest that Holliday should&#8217;ve taken part in the Home Run Derby. He is not that kind of hitter, much like Chisholm. Fans don&#8217;t associate Holliday with the long ball. What hurt Chisholm even more were his excuses after the event, and the fact that he went 0-for-3 in the All-Star Game itself against elite pitching from the National League.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Why Jazz Chisholm made the All-Star Game to begin with<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Again, Holliday may have suffered from the same fate, but the margin between the two players was so slim to begin with, it&#8217;s not a good look for the Yankees or Chisholm.\u00a0Eric Cole of FanSided\u00a0explained why Chisholm was voted in over Holliday to begin with:<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\"><em>&#8220;The one quibble one can have with the choice is Chisholm being considered a second baseman given how much he has played third base as well this year. Unfortunately, there is no real way to guard against that. Chisholm was picked as a reserve for starters which doesn&#8217;t technically have a position requirement<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">He also has played a good bit of second base and not allowing him to be eligible would disadvantage all players who move around the field which would feel worse,&#8221; Cole wrote.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The fact that a division rival received those reps over Holliday in an experience he would&#8217;ve valued more than most as a young player makes it an even tougher pill to swallow.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">There&#8217;s always next season, Jackson.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jackson Holliday was in the running to be an AL All-Star, but ultimately lost out to a rival.
