Jarren Duran may have been eliminated from the All-Star fan vote, but the Boston Red Sox outfielder is accomplishing things never before seen in the history of the American League.
With All-Star fan voting coming to an end on Wednesday, one of the league's most prominent rising stars is not actually on the ballot.on Tuesday night with a solo home run in the eighth inning. It was Duran's 100th hit and 10th home run of the season, and he is now batting .287 with 10 triples, 21 stolen bases, an .848 OPS and a 4.6 WAR., Duran is now the first American League player ever to record 100 hits, 10 triples, 10 home runs and 20 stolen bases before the All-Star break.
Duran's star-power is relatively new, considering the inconsistencies and injuries that plagued him through his first few big league campaigns. After batting .219 with a .622 OPS between 2021 and 2022, Duran hit .295 with an .828 OPS in 2023, but he only appeared in 102 games. Now, Duran is well on his way to career-highs across the board, and he has yet to miss a game for the Red Sox.
Duran could still make the All-Star Game, if he is selected as a reserve on July 7. Those decisions are left up to the Player Ballot and the Commissioner's Office. If they have been paying the slightest amount of attention to Duran's accomplishments so far this season, he may just find himself heading to Arlington, Texas, with the rest of MLB's biggest stars.Sam Connon is a Staff Writer for Fastball on the Sports Illustrated/FanNation networks.
