The All-Star Game has come and gone, the July trade deadline will pass on by in less than two weeks, and all 30 major league clubs are gearing for the summer stretch ahead and potential postseason runs.
On Tuesday, we witnessed a 3-0 shutout of the National League by the American League in the 84th midsummer classic at Citi Field in New York.
While the American League All-Stars outperformed the National League on Tuesday, the opposite can be said of this year’s rookie class.
The National League has showcased a bevy of impressive rookie performers this season, both on the mound and at the plate.
