Brad Hand

Brad Hand’s 1.13 ERA over 23 appearances is the best on the entire pitching staff, and by far the best of his 12-year career, though it’s still early in the season.

Across 16 total innings of work, Hand has only allowed two earned runs, neither of which was a homer.

Hand was an All-Star three years running from 2017-19, but his numbers this year are better. This selection should be a slam dunk.

Seranthony Dominguez

After everything Seranthony Dominguez went through over the last two years just to be healthy enough to pitch, it would be amazing to see him on the All-Star roster.

Dominguez has been one of the Phillies’ most reliable relievers this season, pitching to a 1.74 ERA (second-best on the team) over 21 appearances, including one game finished. Across 20 2/3 innings, he’s struck out 26 batters – tied for most in the bullpen – and like Hand, has yet to allow a home run.
